A new animal in Estonian nature but where they are permanent residents their collective life mode and smartness is acknowledged despite the significant damage that they cause in the environment.
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 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.
