Bean geese on stubble field. Tamme, on the shore of lake Võrtsjärve

 

Fair weather brings us migrants from both north and east. On Monday (September 25) cranes moved from Finland. The beginning of autumn there is so rainy that grain crops have not been cleared in many areas. Part of the cranes will probably stay in Matsalu and some will make a migration pause. Geese migration is already showing signs of intensifying ... If any fair weather comes it pays to keep eyes and ears open.
