Silver Y
Silver Y Lina-tähtöölane Autographa gamma
The silver Y is a common species arriving as a migrant in Estonia. It manages to fly even to Lapland. The moths arrive in Estonia with warm winds from southern Europe, from the second half of May to October. In summers a local population may also develop in Estonia. The moths can be seen in meadows, fields, forests, gardens etc.
Note the dachshound in the video, excitedly standing on the road. By the way, the dachshound breed takes its name from the badger (Dachs – badger in German) and the short legs of the dachshound are bred precisely for getting into the burrows of a badger sett.

In the video clip from the evening of August 16th firstly an adult badger is visible and then suddenly, running with quick steps, clearly slimmer creatures – the cubs of this year. How long we have waited for this sight in the badger camera!
Video captured by Fleur.in the badger camera forum.

In the Year of the Badger we would like to show all good badger videos, even retrospectively. Here is a springtime record of the peaceable doings of a badger.
