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.

 Roe deer move at night...
 
For some days already the boars haven’t been seen in camera view. Something seems to be happening in the forest. Today wolf tracks were discovered quite near the feeding ground. On going along the tracks Mait found a killed and half-eaten young elk two kilometres away from the feeding ground. We have to do with a 4- or 5-member wolf pack and ”our” boars use the same part of the forest for sleeping. Naturally the sow boar with her flock retreated to a...

We have been repeatedly asked why the boars won’t visit the feeding ground?
 
Nothing wrong with digging for roots in the forest in warm weather. But when cold weather arrives things at the feeding ground must be checked at once. They appeared on the site a few minutes before midnight and spent an hour and half there.
 

The male boar moves with the herd – so some sows are still in heat. When the male has fulfilled his tasks in the herd he begins his usual solitary life in the forest. The movements of the flock are as...

At 5 o’clock in the evening familiar voices were heard in the web camera.
 
Storm Friedhelm wasn’t so fierce in Ilmatsalu as on the western islands: a 15 m/s wind together with a little snowdrift and very little cold. They entered warily, not having been there since the last storm or for a couple of weeks. There is a big male boar in the herd, so the sows in this herd are in heat...

Two raccoon dogs were equipped with telemetric monitoring devices a few days ago; it seems that the collars went to a raccoon dog pair. When they turn their heads the white collar bands show and both were at the feeding ground before eight o’clock.
 

The aim of the study is to find out how they choose their habitat around the feeding ground and their winter movement activity, also the impact of raccoon dogs on ground nesting birds, including protected species such as the...

Last Friday heavy rains started and the storm at the weekend came on top of that. The boars have most likely retreated to a spruce grove with at least some shelter against the rain and wind. Even the raccoon dogs were not to be seen last night, and only a few birds in daytime.
 

When the belly is full, comfort becomes more important...

We are in the aftermath of winter and the beginning of early spring, the Forest Camera closes. The peat ground has nearly thawed. Mait created a pleasant straw "floor“, but it is sensible to reduce wear and tear on the area. The snow is nearly gone, it should be possible to manage with food from nature again.
 
The Tähtvere Hunters Association and Mait Siimson cared for the needs of the wild animals. Our thanks also to all little helpers from Ilmatsalu kindergarten who collected the "candies“ – acorns. Bread was sent by the Tartu RIMI supermarket.
 
The members of Looduskalender’s Forum kept viewers up to date on events: many thanks to them. We will meet again in the beginning of next winter,...

A few moments after repairing the camera the deer were back

Late yesterday night the camera image disappeared, but for an hour sounds from the feeding ground could still be heard. Morning is wiser than evening, as an Estonian saying goes – a boar had been at the network cable with its teeth and severed the connection. Good that the web camera was left „alive“.

 
Many thanks to Viljar who came from Rakvere on Sunday with his company bus and...
