Grey seal        Hallhüljes       Halichoerus grypus

Spring is here and the waters have been let free. For those who have planned to visit the Uhaku karst area now is a good time to do it.

There is water enough for the river and the underground. Happy watching!

Great tit      Rasvatihane        Parus major

Since it is high time to get the old nestboxes in order or to build new ones, many confront the question about space in the nestbox. How big a box does the bird feel comfortable in? Is it at all important how large the nestbox is?

March moth    Keltsavaksik         Alsophila aescularia

The March moth emerges from the pupa when the last snow thaws in late March and we can see them in flight until the end of April. This moth stands some degrees of frost so cold spring nights doesn’t kill it.

We see Klaus face-to-face for the first time this year. Usually he makes just a quick visit to bring some rodent to his brooding partner. Probably hunting will be easier för Klaus as warmer weather arrives and the snow thaws. Until now Klaara has been brought about 5-6 rodents every night.

During the night Klaara leaves the nest a couple of times for short whiles – body needs stretching, the nest hollow home is not the most comfortable of places.
