The grays in water, white-tailed eagles on land and in air ….
We had no information about the state of the monitoring camera – totally an overseas thing …
Damage from the waves that accompanied the storm warnings and the great rise in seawater level could well be feared. But on last Wednesday with the sunny weather the solar panels charged the batteries and on Thursday morning the camera was working again
On this Thursday somewhere ”the first seal pup” should have been born – so experience of many years of monitoring seals says, both of ringed and gray seals. The ice situation this year in the Väinamere (Sea of Straits) is not favourable for the pupping of ringed seals, but winter has not left us yet.
The seawater level in front of the camera is about half a metre above the usual, the waves have changed the shore in camera view. Air and water temperature are both a little above 3 degrees.
When the water level falls the grays will soon be on shore, we can only wish for more sunshine necessary for the transmission of the image.
