Early morning in the stork nest.

We waited and hoped to see a third egg in the nest in the morning – and so it was.

Female Kati has regularly laid an egg every two days, on April 14, 18 and 20.

To observe the spring migration of birds we have installed a camera on the Sassi Peninsula – in the same area where we in the autumn could observe the migration of mainly cranes and geese. At the springtime migration particularly many barnacle geese arrive here to the coastal meadows. The first barnacle geese have already been seen on the nearby fields and also flying over the observation point. Here on the coastal meadows they have nothing to do before some green to nibble at has grown. The shore vegetation will only begin to develop when the air temperature permanently holds at least 5 degrees of warmth throughout day and night. The cool spring and cold sea have not let the vegetation on the Sassi meadows sprout

The felling truce that was activated today is particularly aimed at preventing disturbances to birds nesting in old forests and animals during the reproduction period. The felling truce lasts until June 15th. An interruption of the spring felling has become a tradition in state forests from  2002.

In the state forests planting of more than 20 million trees is planned during the felling truce period and maintenance of young forests will be arranged on 40 thousand hectares..

Several private forest owners have also adapted their activities to the felling break.
