Vihitaja, Actitis hypoleucos
"Kaduge mu teelt, ma tulen..." - üks julge vihitaja Viimsis.
"Get out of my way, I'm walking here..." - one brave Sandpiper in Viimsi, Estonia.

Räästapääsuke, Delichon urbicum
Käisime Matsalus linde vaatamas kuid kahjuks ainukesed kelle pildile saime olid räästapääsud. Emme usinasti aplaid pojakesi toitmas. Matsalu.
We went to Matsalu Reserve to check out the local birds but the only ones that we got on the picture were the House Martins. Mommy feeding the hungry nestlings.

Kanepilind, Carduelis cannabina
Õhk oli sääskedest ja parmudest paks - 4 kihulast on vasakus servas ka pildile ei jäänud. Kanepilindu see väga ei häirnud, fotograafe küll. Pärnumaa.
The air was thick with mosquitos and horseflies - 4 of those beasts have even fitted onto the photo on the left side. This did not bother Linnet much but did the photographers. Pärnumaa, Estonia.

Ronk, Corvus corax
Üks paganama suur aga paganama arg lind. Kui nad sind juba kusagil märkavad (ükskõik kui kaugelt), siis peagi tõuseb lendu ja lahkub kogu parv. Lähedale on väga keeruline saada.
One large but damn shy bird - Raven. If they already see you (even from the far) then the whole flock flies away real soon. It is very difficult to get close.

Tsüklon tuleb!
Ja nii lõppesidki meie kuumad suveilmad. Jäid vaid vihm ja kõuekõmin...
And so ended the hot summer days in Estonia. Only rain and thunder remained...

Liivatüll, Charadrius hiaticula
Suvega olid tüllid julgemaks või täpsemalt öeldes ükskõiksemaks muutunud. Fotograafi küll märgati, kuid tema klõpsutamist väga miskiks ei peetud. Harjumaa.
During the summer, the Ringed Plovers, had become braver or more indifferent to be more exact. They saw the photographer but did not think of anything the clicks of the shutter. Harjumaa, Estonia.

Lambahänilane, Motacilla flava flava
Aktiivse ellusuhtumisega linnuke Paljassaarelt. Kõike seda laulu ei jõudnud ära kuulata ja tantsu ning vigurlendu ära vaadata, mis fotograafidele ette valmistatud oli.
Birdy with an active attitude - Blue-headed Wagtail from Paljassaare, Estonia. It was impossible to listen all the songs and watch all the dances and stunt flights that was prepared for the photographers.

Punaselg-õgija, Lanius collurio
Harjumaal sai nähtud õgijate territooriumivaidlusi. Pildil on võitja, kes sai istuda kõigi poolt armastatud oksal. Auhinnaks seekord siis pilt meie blogis. Muide see pilt ja ka eelmised 2 on tehtud juba kasutades 1,4x Nikkori konverterit. Ei saa kurta, väga hea vidin.
We saw territorial disputes of Red-backed Shrikes in Harjumaa, Estonia. This picture is taken of the winner who won the right to sit on the branch that everyone desired. As a prize - picture in our blog! By the way this photo and the previous 2 are already taken using 1,4x Nikkor teleconverter. Nice little gadget I must say.

Tundrarüdi e Tundrarisla, Calidris alpina alpina
"No siit leiab küll midagi väga maitsvat... kõik on nii kenasti roheline ja laagerdunud." Hoolimata nimest peaks see linnuke olema Eestis väga levinud. Harjumaa
"This seems a good spot for something tasty... everything is nicely green and matured." Despite the name, the Dunlin (in estonian Tundra Sandpiper) should be very common here. Harjumaa, Estonia

Mänsak, Nucifraga caryocatactes
Lihtsalt pilt sellest, et selline lind on olemas. Me polnud jälle varem näinud. Aeg oli õhtu ning ISO suur, mänsak lähemale ka ei soovinud tulla. Kraaksus seal puu otsas nagu vares. Harjumaa.
Just a picture of the Nutcracker to show that this kind of bird exists. Again we had not seen before. The time was late evening and ISO was large, the bird did not want to come closer. He just sat there and croaked like a crow. Harjumaa, Estonia.

Valge-toonekurg, Ciconia ciconia
Toonekurgi on sellel aastal palju. Kui ette ei vaata, siis võivad mõned hoos olevad konnanokkijad suure õhinaga ka sulle otsa joosta. See lind näiteks tuli nii lähedale, et fiksobjektiiviga pildijahtija sai lõpus teha ainult passipilte. Lahemaa.
There are a lot of White Storks this year. If you are not too careful then some frog-eaters in action can run into you. For example this bird came so close that the photographer with a fixed telephoto lens could do only passport photos in the end. Lahemaa, Estonia.

Merisk, Haematopus ostralegus
Väga vahvalt piiksuv lind kes hetkel eelistas aega veeta maismaal, nokkides mudast ja murust ussikesi.
A swell squeaking bird-Oystercatcher who at the moment prefered to spend a bit of time on land and to pick worms from the mud and grass.

Väike-kirjurähn, Dendrocopos minor
Sattusime Lahemaal matkates kokku tegusa väike-kirjurähni emmega kes hoogsalt otsis oma pojale toitu.
On a hiking trip in Lahemaa we stumbled on a busy Lesser Spotted Woodpecker mommy who anxiously searched food for her son.
