Pretty view: female lays the roe in the spawning nest; milt cloud of the male in the start of the video and the smaller attentive satellites pressing towards the nest

Many thanks to all who took part in the spawning camera venture.

The spawning period of the river trout has come to an end. Although the water level has been high in all Estonian water bodies this year, several tens of female river trout spawned in camera view and slightly upstream of it. Some fishes became familiar ”by face” to constant watchers.

Many thanks to the viewers, all interested parties and participants in the LK forum!

The first jackals have already visited the illuminated strip of beach. Beginning from the evening of November 24 it is  possible to see what happens on the beach during the dark period. By way of two powerful IR lamps the illuminated area is visible about 50 metres to the water's edge – the swans are visible further away in the sea.
