Tuhala Witches Well no longer boils

We also noted that the phenomenon could end at any time. And so it did.
While on Sunday many who came to see it witnessed the amazing happening, those who travelled there on Monday to watch were sadly disappointed: just a wet well rim was to be seen.
 
Nothing to be done about it. Remains only to wait for the next boiling: it may come already next spring, it may take several years.

In the stormy weather of this year a calm day was hard to find. About the situation then: the pupping of grey seals started about two weeks ago, with the beginning of February: the bigger seal pups look this old. There were about 20 of them on the isle but that nearly 50% die is worrying. When the active period on the isle has ended seal researchers Mart and Ivar Jussi will be able to tell more in detail about the situation.

Cormorant ringed in Finland at the Admiraliteedi Bassein in Tallinn.

Better months for finding ringed birds and reading their rings are yet ahead so it is not too late at all to join the contest.
 
Our southern neighbours have already met geese, stock doves and wood pigeons, lapwings and many other early spring migrating birds.
