To start with some information: beginning from February 15th it is prohibited to move in the nesting area of white-tailed eagles without special permission according to the Nature Conservation Act.
 
The quite long “film”  shows the fending off of the younger nest occupants  for five minutes. An attentive watcher notes the differences in exterior and the leg rings.

VIDEO: About the winter activities of badgers

On the border between Harju and Rapla counties, in a hazel stand with large aspens and some spruces and birches, there is a badger castle with more than ten openings. Here on a hazel a trail camera was mounted in the end of January  to observe whether badgers, besides sleeping, also go outdoors in winter. 
 
Photos and video records testify that there is plenty of activity whenever warmer weather arrives, and that there is no lack of visitors. Four badgers, probably two adults and their two young, are active at the den every evening and night.

We also noted that the phenomenon could end at any time. And so it did.
While on Sunday many who came to see it witnessed the amazing happening, those who travelled there on Monday to watch were sadly disappointed: just a wet well rim was to be seen.
 
Nothing to be done about it. Remains only to wait for the next boiling: it may come already next spring, it may take several years.

Seal camera works

In the stormy weather of this year a calm day was hard to find. About the situation then: the pupping of grey seals started about two weeks ago, with the beginning of February: the bigger seal pups look this old. There were about 20 of them on the isle but that nearly 50% die is worrying. When the active period on the isle has ended seal researchers Mart and Ivar Jussi will be able to tell more in detail about the situation.
