Grey-headed woodpecker    Hallpea-rähn or hallrähn      Picus canus

The rains of the last few  days have reduced the snow cover in southern Estonia significantly. The southerly winds help the movements of migratory birds – life goes steadily towards spring. It is a good time to end  the small bird feeder camera transmission. Our thanks to all viewers!

In the evening, a little past six o’clock …

Tawny owl    Kodukakk      Strix aluco

When it is time for Klaara to set out on her usual ”evening adventure” then today she sits in the nest and for a moment the egg too is visible which Shanta has recorded in the video too.

Badger at the deer feeding ground

Badger         Mäger       Meles meles

This badger usually moves in the dark, being on a foraging trip.

During winter they went out from the burrows in warmer weather but then always close to the nest. More frequently in daytime, to breath fresh air and when possible show themselves to the sun.

In winter the badgers have had a thorough slimming period: a full-grown individual now weighs about nine kilos.
