In earlier years the webcam tawny owls have started their breeding – laid the first egg – on March 1st (2009) at the earliest and on April 6th (2010) at the latest. Last year, 2015, they laid the first egg on March 4th. We hope that our tawny owls will breed this year too!

Rival great tits.

 

You are invited to collect great tit calls with the “Minu loodusheli – My nature sound” app for smart mobiles!

Great tits have tens of different songs and calls. The app  “Minu loodusheli – My nature sound” makes it possible for everyone with an interest in nature to record the sounds of the great tit and other calls in nature and make them into sound observations in a database.

In the video from Wednesday night we saw a strange badger in the webcam. It at once attacked the male who protected his nest at the opening to the den (below is a link to the video from Wednesday).
 
In the present video we see the same creature in daylight, and it is a quite large individual.

It was 5 o’clock in the morning. By its behaviour it could be understood that the arrival was not a resident of this den – it moved extremely silently, sniffed the surroundings, approached the den opening sneaking low down. A description as in a detective story because the eyes of the stranger are also covered by a black mask.
