We see in  Arne’s photo both adults and juvenile birds – on the neck of the latter the semi-circle shaped patch is not yet visible

The migrants passing Estonia have nested in the western Siberian tundras, but close to the sea.

The migrant camera was in two different locations on the Haeska shore to start with this autumn. The first place was a promising patch of grass that however became submerged in water with the rising seawater level and storm winds so that a boat was needed to fetch the camera.

Flights to  find night location looked like this at sunset

Although the goose migration still continues the camera location regrettably did not hit the best place. As can be seen there is not much grass growth on the pastures despite the warm weather.

Soon Tiit Hunt will give the watchers a review of events and information on where the camera soon will be placed.
