The scalloped oak occurs everywhere in Estonia and it is quite common in broadleaf and mixed forests, coppices and gardens. The moths are attracted to artificial light in July and the first half of August.
A week in the woods: Third week of July

Information from the Animal of the Year team
Again a week without badgers. There was no sign of them at the sett nor at the second camera nearby placed at the burrows. But despite the absence of our main hero, life in the forest was brisk.

Translation Liis
:
On Saturday unexpected visitors arrived in the ospreys’ nest. Suddenly the nest was full of bees who had decided to stop as a swarm in the home of the ospreys. The ospreys felt uncomfortable and even the food brought by Mai and Mati was almost impossible to eat.
Swarming, or the departure of a superfluous portion of bees from the nest together with a queen, usually takes place from the beginning of June to the second half of July.
But maybe there were instead ants in the nest who likewise look for new homes?

The video clips were made this year in mid-July in Puka municipality in Valga County, at a badger sett where the cubs have a pleasant time playing outside a burrow entrance. Somersaults and playful wrestling. The sett with 10 entrances is situated in an old forest on a natural elevation.
