Deer Camera

Ending story  Tiit Hunt, www.rmk.ee

Uno recently found one of the  antlers that Hubert shed in February last year.

The red deer camera ends this season.

We will be able to observe the doings of the red deer again in the beginning of September when the powerful mating roars from the male deer again resound from the fields and forests, and the antler-rattling of rivals is heard.

Hubert, the largest of the twenty-member deer flock that visited the feeding ground, shed his antlers already in mid-February and by mid-May the old antlers had fallen from even the youngest members of the flock.

 

Söödaplatsil käib umbes veerandsada hirvepulli, igal loomal peas kordumatu kujuga sarved. Vähestest viisidest, kuidas hirvekarja liikmetel üldse vahet teha, ongi nende sarved.

The web camera monitoring the doings of red deer is back again, in the same place where it ended in spring. The bellows and growls that reach the microphone tell us that the rut period of red deer has started with a swing. We will see if our old friends will use the same trails as before. Perhaps Huubert, the most powerful buck with the mightiest antlers will be there too, and the mysterious ”hairy deer” who showed up a couple of times last season. Looduskalender’s forum will surely not miss any interesting happenings.
