That all kinds of animals like to lick salt is well known. Now the children saw that hares are no exception. In the trail camera of the Kiviõli children the hare (mountain or snow or white hare, Lepus timidus) even stands up to get at the salt cube on the pole. There is a glimpse of its black ear tips too.

So female Tiiu laid the egg
Greater spotted eagle Suur-konnakotkas Clanga clanga
Greater spotted eagles generally lay two eggs, seldom three.
We saw in the video Tiiu laying the first egg on April 23rd. Today on April 27th too the egg was laid in the evening.

Grey heron Hallhaigur Ardea cinerea
A baby boom is starting in the heron colony – just imagine the hatching of the chicks of a some hundred nesting pairs at roughly the same time !
For information – the heron pairs keep together only during one nesting period.
The beaver webcam furnished a pleasant surprise and definite proof that in Matsalu the rare eagle owl is still present.
