Eelmisel pühapäeval sai osa võetud Looduse Omnibussi reisist Taevaskotta ja Valgesoosse. Eestis on ebaharilikult soe ja Lõuna-Eestis oli 7 plusskraadi. Tavaliselt oleks oodata niipalju miinuskraade. Ilus loodus, päike. Polegi kevadel seni Taevaskoda külastanud. Ikka rohkem suvel. Varakevadel on aga vaated hoopis teistsugused.
Kuigi retke nimi oli Jäälinnu retk, siis seda pelglikku lindu me muidugi ei kohanud. Olen sarnast lindu aga näinud Lõuna Aafrikas, kus selle nimeks on African pygmy- kingfisher. Vaid nokk on punakam sel. Emaslindudel aga pidigi punast nokas leiduma...
Ka Valgesoo oli muljetavaldav. Alguses tundus see peaaegu ilma laugasteta soo ebahuvitavana, aga praegu seal domineeriv eriline punakas taim andis soole kauni varjundi.

Last Sunday I took part of the journey by Nature Omnibus to Taevaskoja and Valgesoo. There was an unusually warm and in Southern Estonia was 7 plus degrees. Normally, it would be expected as far subzero temperatures. Beautiful nature, the sun. I have never before visited Taevaskoda in spring. Always in the summer. In early spring the views are quite different.
Although the name of the expedition was a trip to the kingfisher, this shy bird, of course, we did not come across. But it is like a bird seen in South Africa, where it is called the African Pygmy-Kingfisher. Only the beak is reddish at that. And females, however, was supposed to be found in the red in its beak ...
Also Valgesoo was impressive. At first, it seemed like almost no pools and uninteresting, but one reddish plant gave that nice paint.
