The activities of the red deer (Cervus elaphus) can once again be viewed in the webcam in Saaremaa – the sixth season from the beginning in 2014. In a few months, at the end of February, it will already be five years since we could watch the doings of the deer in real time by way of the webcam for the first time.

In December the annual mainland winter bird count continues. The second counting period is from December 25th 2018 until January 7th 2019.

The birds should be counted in an area and a path of one’s own choice. The observer should know winter birds (up to 40 species) from their calls and exterior. For the counting an about 10 km long path should be selected which may pass through different landscapes.
