The beaver camera is once more online. This year we will be able to follow the activities of the beavers at their lodge on the shore of the Penijõgi in the Matsalu National Park. Behind the beaver lodge the largest reed field at the Baltic is visible.

After a long separation the arrival of one's breeding companion is a great joy. Such feelings are a pleasure to share.

When Urmas Sellis has finished his pressing field work he will introduce the nesters and this year’s situation in more detail.

Tõnn brings first spruce twig to nest

In the video we see the visit of the male in the nest just after a quarter to three. Probably Tõnn has inspected the surroundings and acknowledges the nest as his own by bringing the spruce twig.

Actually Tõnn with his transmitter arrived already yesterday. The visit to the nest at a quarter to six lasted for only a second. Was there something in the surroundings that seemed disturbing to him? See the video below.

The red deer camera finished its season. Our thanks to the hunting specialists of RMK who together with their colleagues cared for the menu of the deer ground visitors.

Our thanks also to OÜ Teetormaja and Eenet who transmitted the camera stream and HATCAM  who provided technical support.

And without the numerous viewers such enterprises would not have any real sense.  

It has been interesting to read the messages and observations of the LK forum members who have been watching the events on the deer ground on a daily basis.

The camera and equipment will move to the mainland to transmit the doings of beavers – the animal of the year.
