A white sheet and a srong light are all you need to catch insects at night

Hello!

On Friday the 6th of September, we left for Vatla, arriving at our sleeping place (an old school) for the evening, joining there our group-leader Eva-Maria and the rest of the group. 

After eating a warm meal, an entomologist gave us a presentation of his work and showed us conserved dead butterflies in boxes. He then caught some local insects to further the explanations

The crew working hard for the Natterjack

We then started to work on Saturday morning, driving to a nearby sandy meadow. We pulled out junipers, and cut down bushes to clear out the meadow, which is essential for the Natterjack Toad. Of course, after a good day of work, we went to enjoy a warm sauna, before going back to the house to sleep.

Estonia: trees, trees everywhere!

Thank you for this lovely week-end :)
