At Soosaare the raccoon dog pair has been frequent visitors. They check precisely that burrow entrance that is in front of the main camera. At 0:15 the raccoon dog looks anxiously towards the bog, probably a boar herd is the cause. The badger shows up too a couple of times. It is very suspicious, it did not even quite enter the burrow. At 0:47 seconds in the video it sniffs the burrow entrance and quickly leaves.

Brown-spot pinion
Brown-spot pinion Täpik-sügisöölane Agrochola litura
Today the brown-spot pinion occurs all over Estonia but it is not common. Five decades ago the species was still quite rare and then occurred mainly in western Estonia. The moths fly in deciduous and mixed tree stands from the end of August to early October.

Death marked trees
Tuesday morning was a morning like any other. You can still go barefoot across the grass to the mailbox to get a fresh Postimees newspaper to the morning coffee. The cold has still not crept into your marrow on returning from the trip.
But cold bit at my heart when I read the newspaper. The report that told that on the Toomemägi slope at the Pirogov site a felling of trees that are dangerous to people will start today.
The badgers return home ever later in autumn, in the video we see that they arrived at the burrows at 6.30 pm. In the background a buzzard is clearly heard "Kjää, kjäää.". Closer a chiff-chaff ticks gently.
