Tawny owl Kodukakk Strix aluco
When it is time for Klaara to set out on her usual ”evening adventure” then today she sits in the nest and for a moment the egg too is visible which Shanta has recorded in the video too.

Badger at the deer feeding ground
Badger Mäger Meles meles
This badger usually moves in the dark, being on a foraging trip.
During winter they went out from the burrows in warmer weather but then always close to the nest. More frequently in daytime, to breath fresh air and when possible show themselves to the sun.
In winter the badgers have had a thorough slimming period: a full-grown individual now weighs about nine kilos.

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.
