Badger Castle on Saaremaa ~2015~

[Marfo]

There is often a lot happening on this cam, but usually not in view.

Oh yes, I hear them all the time!
I sometimes think they do it on purpose and are laughing behind our backs, saying:
"Come on Badger, you go in front of the camera for a second, that will keep them happy for a while, hahaha!"

I'm glad you've seen a Badger

23:08 some sound.....still I think from a Pinemarten ( young one )

[Marfo]

23:50 Fireworks, heard, not seen. Quite surprising!

[Fleur]

fireworks, out of view

[Marfo]

18:43 Badger!
He is walking backwards and dragging plants into the castle, at least twice.


A little later he is leaving.

[Marfo]

19:03 and 19:04 (and before) a loud bang!
As if someone drops something on a wooden floor (impossible).
Not a gunshot, I hope.....?
And 19:07...

[Fleur]

I missed the Badger and the bang

[Marfo]

I missed the Badger and the bang

Well, I almost missed the badger too. There are so many sounds all the time and every time I watch the cam when I hear something, there's nothing. So I ignored the sounds of the badger at first.
The 'bangs' were very strange. So were some of the sounds you recorded. Too bad there aren't any video files.......

good morning

8:01 Boars around. Not in view

What's it for, new 'bedding'? The plants were fresh, I think. It cannot be for preparing a nest, can it? Wrong time.

21:16 Boars are around

22:43 Tawny Owl is calling in the distance

[Felis silvestris]

A group of boar passed very noisily. But only one little one came up for a short moment, all others stayed just under the cam out of view

[Fleur]

oh, so cute

Nearly a week ago there was a programme on TV. At 28.17 begins a part in which Tiit Hunt was speaking about badgers and said that the mating "session" of 1.5 hours of the inhabitants of "our" castle could be the world record. Though it is in Estonian, it might be interesting to see the castle from a different angle

With regards from Summi

[Felis silvestris]

Thanks for the link, Summi. Sometimes I watch Ringvaade, although I don't understand much.

Edit: I now watched. The other guy I know already from Osoon It's interesting to see the surroundings.
Did they say that the male is called Tõnis? And they compared the backwards moving with Michael Jackson's moonwalk
Again thanks for the link! I enjoyed watching!

Summi thank you for the message.
I understand also usually not good but I'm glad that this webcam is there.
