The female badger showed herself in her full glory even in daytime! While otherwise all the black-and-white badger videos have been recorded at dusk then now the female walked across the sett in clear daylight and the camera recorded the first colour video.

The best viewing times for the badger camera now are in the evenings between 18.30- 22.00 and in mornings between 5.00-7.00.

Overeating makes one sleepy, lazy and fat. Only a month ago such an image was not to be thought of: the badger flops down to sleep in front of the burrow. But a badger preparing for winter tends to be tired after one more major bellyful.

More news now from the Soosaare sett. All three badgers whom we have seen here before the longish break passed in camera view last week. The large fat male badger with the bushy blunt tail, the large fat female badger with a narrower tail and now also a rather fat young badger but with a narrower tail. The younger badger differs from the female only by the proportions. Its body is smaller compared to the head.
Some time ago n interesting story could be read in the Viljandimaa newspaper „Sakala” about how a hunter who had been luring elks deceived a wolf flock. Such a hunter is worthy of admiration. Most hunters cannot imitate an elk cow so masterfully.
We should also feel proud of the fact that wolf packs can be seen in our forests. How many countries can still boast about that.
Quite a long time has passed and only raccoon dogs and other visitors come to the bog-side burrows of the Soosaare badger sett where we started monitoring this sett. The badgers that initially were in a playful mood and felt secure at home no longer do so. Their tracks and activities lately are at the rear side burrows only. Two weeks ago we installed a camera there too and the first batch of video clips is here.

The howl of young wolves. The voices are still pretty weak but wolves anyway.
