GT ( Madli, Anu - pls correction):
In Jõgeva and its surroundings
The week started with hot and arid weather. The maximum air temperature rose to 30.0 degrees on Monday and 30.9 degrees on Tuesday. In July, heat> = 30 degrees was registered at the Jõgeva weather station for seven days this year, (which is even higher in 2010 and 2018, according to the observation series starting from 1922) correction (thx Summi ): more than that has been only in 2010 and 2018.
It started to drizzle on Tuesday night and it rained the next night. It was a decent hundred (15 mm) after a long period of drought.

Good day all

Happy to be back here.
Thank you Solo, Liz and balistar for the overiew, great shots and video of 6:25 feeding by Jan. Jan had the muddiest feet I've ever seen!

Hopefully now the water level in brooks and rivers has started to rise.

ED maybe a slight change to GT

In July, heat> = 30 degrees was registered at the Jõgeva weather station for seven days this year, which is even higher in 2010 and 2018

... more than that has been only in 2010 and 2018 ...
