The collapsed nest was found when WWF and volunteers were cramming helpers for nesting. Nesting peace will be declared next week.
The nest of the Saimaa norpa has been blatantly disturbed in southern Saimaa.
On a snowmobile, I had been driven crosswise over a snowbank, where a norpa had already tried to make a nest. The nest had finally collapsed and there was only an opening made by a norpa.
WWF experts and volunteers found the destroyed nest when they were digging up helpers to facilitate nesting.
WWF will declare a nesting ban for Saimaa grouse next week, but those moving around Saimaa should already remember to respect the Saimaa grouse’s nesting nests.
Experts remind us that snowmobiles can of course be driven on ice, but the driver is responsible for safety and harm to the environment.
