The first jackals have already visited the illuminated strip of beach. Beginning from the evening of November 24 it is  possible to see what happens on the beach during the dark period. By way of two powerful IR lamps the illuminated area is visible about 50 metres to the water's edge – the swans are visible further away in the sea.

The passing migration of goldfinches towards south ends with the arrival of frosts but the weather as well as winds play an important role..

Sisu

So the jackal camera image looks at night.

Today the IR lights that finally arrived were installed. They should not disturb the canines.

Anyway, things become more interesting.

The fifth season of the RMK deer camera has started, and again in the same place from where the camera view has been transmitted in previous years.

Meenutamaks, et esimest korda saime veebikaamera vahendusel hirvi jälgida otse-eetris 2014. aasta veebruaris.

Läbi aastate on siin söödaplatsil juhtunud mõndagi põnevat ja tavatut. Kummaline tumeda ja pika sassis karvkattega hirv oli lausa mõistatus.

Yellow Tremble or Witches’ Butter

Yellow tremble, Witches’ butter, Yellow brain fungus     Kollane kõhrik         Tremella mesenterica

In the mushroom picking season you just drive quickly past the alder stands at the roads but who strays into one of them in autumn or winter may notice some rather common inhabitants there, the jelly fungi.

The video of the cormorant colony from the Nigula Nature Reserve was recorded by a drone

The video was recorded on five different days in September and October. On some days they were unbelievably many, practically all the branches at the water edge were occupied, and there were as many birds in the water.

Aurora borealis

Image and sound disappeared in the jackal camera on updating the software, regrettably so seriously that tomorrow we must replace the whole camera set..

We hope to be able to restore the camera functions tomorrow.

Our apologies to all viewers!

The spawning period is here. The water level is not a problem for the salmonids anywhere this year.
