Flights to  find night location looked like this at sunset

 

Although the goose migration still continues the camera location regrettably did not hit the best place. As can be seen there is not much grass growth on the pastures despite the warm weather.

Soon Tiit Hunt will give the watchers a review of events and information on where the camera soon will be placed.

Yes, the nature cameras work, when they work, still on line and among the wildlife – storms, mice, cows,water,ants and all the other wild life.

On the Sassi peninsula the video images from the migrant camera were splashed by cattle, and the badger camera images from Nasva in Saaremaa were devoured by mice – tooth marks here and there causing  short circuits on the hundred meters long cable.

Once in the Tehumardi area hundreds of ants at the badger den discovered that a good place for their nest was directly in the camera between all kinds of small widgets; it became too much when they started to run unceasingly across the sensor.

There are hiking paths that seem quite ordinary but soon will no longer be so – one of those is the nature trail in the Poruni ancient forest. When the Reisijutud.com people were there 15 years ago local people told about bears that in the night visited hikers sleeping in their tents in the middle of nowhere and put their noses inside the tent to find out where the delicious smell of food came from. And a local mushroom picker suggested cunningly to pick those ”rubber mushroom”: “I don’t want them, but leave the ceps for me”. He called the chanterelles ”rubber mushrooms”.
