The web camera monitoring the doings of red deer is back again, in the same place where it ended in spring. The bellows and growls that reach the microphone tell us that the rut period of red deer has started with a swing. We will see if our old friends will use the same trails as before. Perhaps Huubert, the most powerful buck with the mightiest antlers will be there too, and the mysterious ”hairy deer” who showed up a couple of times last season. Looduskalender’s forum will surely not miss any interesting happenings.

Once again we forward images from the Vilsandi National Park grey seal monitoring camera. After a third restoration attempt the system that had been damaged by storms has been almost wholly renewed. Not having a seal camera running in the Seal Year would be embarrassing … It is the birthing period for the grey seals. The pups are in their white ”baby furs”, the females in flecked coats, and somewhat smaller than the dark males.
