Hundred meter long beaver dams occur rarely in Estonia. One such giant structure was built by the beaver group at the Esna springs. Evidently the dam, dividing the swampy spring area, was ready already in 2017. The hard-working creatures had unknown to themselves made an early symbolic gift for Estonia’s jubilee. By 2019 the landscape view had changed somewhat.

 

About the heat periods of our smallest canines

Daily walk  of fox on Muhu island

 

Fox; Red fox          Rebane or punarebane      Vulpes vulpes

 

For the last few weeks I haven’t seen tracks  of foxes in pairs  in nature so the heat period is coming to an end – the foxes stray individually. We see them in action in the jackal camera almost every day.

The heat period of all our canines lasts about two months. Thus the first fox whelps may see the light of the day already in March or at the latest in April.
