New Camera

 
This year the Winter White-tailed Eagle Feeding Ground Camera starts a little later than in previous years. The camera was installed on December 8, with the assistance of Tiit and Joosep, but we only managed to get the sound in working order in the new year, with the help of Beta Group.

Wolf tracks at crossroad, Anguse forests.
 
  Wolf Hunt  Canis lupus    
 
A day of snowfall, and nice mild winter weather promised for the weekend: a pleasant cause to go for a ramble in the wintry forest. A new fresh track book is again open.
In February the wolf packs separate and adult monogamous wolf couples start their new progeny. Tiit has managed to record tracks of a couple moving together. The tracks are very difficult to distinguish from the tracks of a dog of similar size, the wolf tracks may only be a little more elongated. Quite indefinite. Snow is scraped on to the patches of urine with the hind legs; such narrow scrape marks add some confirmation, but it is all a matter of deduction and conjecture.
 
At the end of March the wolf couple goes to the summer den or lair which may be at a wind felled tree, and always near water. A suitable raccoon dog or old fox den may be enlarged to use as a den..

And then it is spring when the pups, blind and deaf, are born in April. The gestation period lasts 62 to 65 days. Pleasant to be thinking of spring.
