Re: Red Deer Camera on Saaremaa 2020 - 2021
I have another Hirvecam update
Since I already added August who only visited 4 times, I also decided to add all the other stags who visited at least 4 times (Dexter, Ervin, Jesper, Leo, Paul, and Walter), and the calf Patrick and his mother Helena, who I wanted to add in January already but then they stopped visiting
I added them with today's date, to make them easier to find, but eventually I will change the date of everyone's post to the day they last visited: https://hirvecam.blogspot.com/
I also want to share some of the statistic I gathered this season. Based on my observations at least 48 stags visited the feeding place (36 older stags and at least 12 with stick antlers), also I think at least 20 hinds visited and at least 15 calves, but it's more difficult to tell them apart
The main herd was 25 stags at the end of the season, and 17 of them had lost their antlers. Two other stags also appeared without antlers on the last two nights.
In total the camera worked for 122 nights, and Sigmund visited the feeding place most often, 120 times. He was only missing on two nights when most of the main stags also didn't show up. Timothy visited 119 times, he was also missing on the same two nights and one other.
Here is a list of the top 30 deer who visited most often:
1. Sigmund (120x)
2. Timothy (119x)
3. Rasmus Hubert II (118x)
3. Roland (118x)
5. Craig (117x)
6. Forest (116x)
7. Ford (115x)
8. Evert (114x)
9. Nilson (94x)
10. Sander (86x)
11. Julius (85x)
12. Harold (76x)
13. Travis (70x)
14. Norman (67x)
15. Margus (65x)
16. Simon (62x)
17. Elias (61x)
18. Daniel (57x)
19. Troy (51x)
20. Gustav (46x)
20. Trevor (46x)
22. Cindy (45x)
23. Bella (44x)
24. Homer (43x)
24. Mark (43x)
24. Oliver (43x)
27. Karl (39x)
28. Tristan (30x)
29. Linda (28x)
30. Oskar (27x)
I wrote down the names in order of appearance every night, and out of everyone Timothy was the first to arrive most often, 32 times. Here's the top 10 who arrived first:
1. Timothy (32x)
2. Margus (15x)
3. Sigmund (14x)
4. Ford (9x)
4. Oliver (9x)
6. Gunnar (6x)
6. Gustav (6x)
8. Evert (4x)
8. Nilson (4x)
8. Troy (4x)
So the winners are Sigmund and Timothy!

Hello all
I went to Saaremaa this weekend and since I was there I of course had to go check out the feeding ground, so I have a spoiler to share about the new season.
The camera wasn't there yet, luckily for me, but the feeding ground is already prepared for the new season, the grass has been cut and a new hay bale is waiting. It looks like the hay will be in the center beside the salt pole this time, and the carrots on the right.
It didn't look like anyone was eating the hay yet, but I did find deer tracks in a nearby ditch where they drink water.
Unfortunately I could only spend a minute or even less beside the feeding ground because when I made it there I was instantly attacked by all the deer keds/flies (lipoptena cervi) of Saaremaa. I wanted to go look at the old feeding ground too but I forgot all about that and just escaped...
Anyway, can't wait for the new season to start!

Thanks for the pictures, rongike
Personally, I liked the feeding ground in the birch forest more. (unimportant....important, the critters have something to feed)

19:00 Evert and Ford, the first today
19:22 A fox came to visit, Ford eating hay, and Monica (on the right) eating carrots probably with her calf and older daughter
22:29 Evert made friends with the fox
And thank you, Jo UK! This is fine I think
