The migrant camera was in two different locations on the Haeska shore to start with this autumn. The first place was a promising patch of grass that however became submerged in water with the rising seawater level and storm winds so that a boat was needed to fetch the camera.

Teine, merekindlam paik, vaatega rannaniidule ja taamal olevale lahesopile pakkus vaatamiseks lisaks avarale maastikule õhus lendavaid arvukaid rändeparvi ning vahetult kaamera ees tegutsevaid rändlinde.

Flights to  find night location looked like this at sunset

 

Although the goose migration still continues the camera location regrettably did not hit the best place. As can be seen there is not much grass growth on the pastures despite the warm weather.

Soon Tiit Hunt will give the watchers a review of events and information on where the camera soon will be placed.

 

Badgers in September … mice in October

Yes, the nature cameras work, when they work, still on line and among the wildlife – storms, mice, cows,water,ants and all the other wild life.

On the Sassi peninsula the video images from the migrant camera were splashed by cattle, and the badger camera images from Nasva in Saaremaa were devoured by mice – tooth marks here and there causing  short circuits on the hundred meters long cable.

Once in the Tehumardi area hundreds of ants at the badger den discovered that a good place for their nest was directly in the camera between all kinds of small widgets; it became too much when they started to run unceasingly across the sensor.
