Did you watch and count birds at the weekend?

The Winter Garden Bird Watch took place on January 26.-28. It has developed into the most popular birdwatching event in Estonia and the largest people’s science enterprise.

A preliminary summary of the survey from the Estonian Ornithological Society:

On the weekend more than 44 000 birds were counted

This terrain suits  the activities of lynxes

Lynx        Harilik ilves      Lynx lynx

A few degrees of frost and a slight snow cover made the animals use the first few days to familiarize themselves with the new conditions in the forest but the track book is already readable.

Goshawk         Kanakull       Accipter gentilis

The shallow MatsaluBay with a water salinity near zero is freezing,  only a few openings are visible because the surface water already is at a couple of degrees minus. We will see how the view has changed tomorrow; strong winds from south are forecast. The mute swans moved away from the forming ice, out of the Matsalu bay.

Lynx         Ilves ehk harilik ilves        Lynx lynx

Although in an enclosure  the lynxes rather prefer  to keep themselves to themselves. The only time when they look for being close to each other  is the heat period but we will have time to write about that later..

On the stormy Saturday night  the hoarse calls of the lynxes were heard and an active movement seen. On Sunday all three inhabitants in the enclosure were in camera view at the same time.
