The past year, 2017, provided enough food for roe deer and they did not have to suffer from cold. It was a good year.

Over 10 schools have responded to the appeal from the Animal of the Year Team to school classes to set up trail cameras in the forest. Among them are also schools in the countryside and small towns. Teacher Janek Joab from the Antsla Gymnasium tells us why the children need trail cameras.

New camera. In the centre of the image there is a salt lick, which is why the animals visit the place at all. As autumn proceeds we expect ever more deer in camera view since in the later half of autumn the winter flocks start to gather. The site on the border between field and forest verge is a favourite place for roe deer.

In case of danger the roe deer doe flees from the approaching threat, trying to entice it away from the fawns, leaving them to lie silently in the grass.

The deer walk their own individual paths now. Most of them have changed the grey winter fur against the reddish summer coat.
