Badger Mäger Meles meles
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.
VIDEO: Nice to be outdoors after winter
Badger Mäger, common names also määr or kähr Meles meles
In fact, as the videos show, the badgers in the web camera have been out for longer periods only for three days. Trail cameras in several locations in Estonia show however that badgers went out already after the so-called cold spell on January 27th.

Raven pair
Raven Ronk or kaaren Corvus corax
Looking at the photo there is no doubt about who is the male in the pair. Anyone roaming in nature almost certainly sees or notices otherwise the mating games of ravens. In March their activities already concentrate on the nesting territory.

Already at half past eight jackdaw, crow and pigeon groups have occupied the feeding place.
The winter this year followed its own course but our winged friends were still fed with BALSNACK ‘s different bird foods. Arne Ader took good care of the birds outside the Loodusemees home office window and will do so until small birds can manage by themselves in nature.

The weather in Estonia has been quite changeable lately. The wet snow that fell meanwhile stuck to young trees and bent the trees almost to the ground with its weight. A pretty and picturesque view, is it not? Sadly such trees will not have a long life, their chances to grow into tall trees are very small.

Winning photo 2015, “Hygiene”, author Remo Savisaar
On the evening of February 22nd Looduse Omnibuss, Eesti Looduskaitse Selts (Nature Conservation Society) and Eesti Energia announced the opening of the greatest nature photo contest in Estonia, the “Looduse Aasta Foto 2016 – Nature Year Photo 2016”.
Badger camera starts
The doings of badgers could be followed in real time for the first time in Estonia in 2014, from mid-May until September. Last year we could watch the hard-working burrow denizens from the end of April until September. This year we started the badger camera already in February, to get an overview of the doings of the Animal of the Year during almost a whole year.
