Grey heron          Hallhaigur       Ardea cinerea

 

A baby boom is starting in the heron colony – just imagine the hatching of the chicks of a some hundred nesting pairs at roughly the same time !

For information – the heron pairs keep together only during one nesting period.

The beaver webcam furnished a pleasant surprise and definite proof that in Matsalu the  rare eagle owl is still present.

Two nice eggs and both adults in camera view

Osprey        Kalakotkas     Pandion haliaetus

The new osprey pair has been named Miina (the female) and  Marko (the male)by the forum members.

On Sunday, April 21st, Miina laid the first egg. Ospreys as a rule lay the eggs with an interval of a day because the creation of the large egg in the body of the female takes time. In the second half of Tuesday the second egg was in the nest, thus on April 23rd.
