In the start of the Osoon nature programme Peep Männil demonstrates how the monitoring is carried out.
We have been able to see the cautious animals and their doings quite often in the web camera.

Bank vole Harilik leethiir or leethiir Myodes glareolus
The bank voles are most intensely busy when dusk arrives, but in the current weather, with little natural daylight and generally grey, in daytime too.
The children of the Kiviõli school 2nd form made an interesting forest trip to set up a trail camera in a clump of trees near the school together with their parents and teacher Jaanika Merirand. For the children the trail camera was a novelty. What do the children hope to see in it? Ken Romet would like to see a hare, Isabella an elk, Kaspar - roe deer, bear, lynx, marten, badger. Badgers, raccoon dogs and roe deer are definitely present in the forest and the trail camera is already transmitting their activities.
Jackal, Golden jackal Šaakal or harilik šaakal Canis aureus
If the jackals still appeared to be rather skinny in early November then in this video from November 20 they look well fed and quite round in their fresh winter furs.
Despite the temptation the cautious creatures keep away from the bait: the genetic memory of the species holds memories of how they were destroyed by poisons added to the bait in their established habitats.
Ten years is actually a very long time these days. November 24th counts as the Looduskalender forum’s birthday.
Our very best wishes and thanks to all members of the congenial international community who follow the events in Estonian nature and even have visited Estonia.
Congratulations!
