Red Deer Cam (Saarema Island)

It is after 4 a.m. and the pig and deer are still taking turns with the corn.

(I am not able to post their pictures -- I'll try again tomorrow. )

4:01 a.m.


4:08 a.m.

Ricky, 16?



How much was the one last year? And the antlers the kid find?

I thought that last year was 14, but I could be wrong.

There is a little mouse visitor tonight!

It only appears as a tiny moving speck on the screen, and he scurried off toward the bottom left corner before I could start a video.

Two plump raccoon dogs. But they do not seem interested in the carrots.

Seems so

Look at the time: CT 19.13.






Now, in this moment at least 10 wild boars, along
the upperside of the ground, coming from the left!

Wow, Ergee, I have never seen that many here before!

I have just logged on to find Mom and the kids eating ( I have not seen the little ones for a while).  There is a large pig lurking in the background behind the trees out of our view, but the kids are acting very nervous about it being there.

Pigs are crazy tonight! The big family and the big loner are discussing about who has the carrots

Uh Oh!  


And the winner is ....




It is a crazy night.

This article seems to answer the earlier antler question:

Hi Bisky. Good information
But there are two big red deers. We saw them last season: one already without antlers. And then we saw these 2 growing their antlers. Maybe one has 15 and the other 16?

Mr Magnificent was in the middle but something must have scared him because he went to the border of the wood.
I am sure he has 5 tines on the top of each antler (crown?). Maybe he has only two down tines on the left side?

Happiness is a new pile of carrots.

Roe deer?

5:25 a.m.

thanks for interesting pics )

Good morning Bisky,

So many interesting pictures... you looked at just the
right time!
Deer ....look at the white spot going up to their back...roe deer spots are smaller and lower. And I guess roe deer and deer don't like to be together...
But Ricky will tell us the exact family...

Lovely moments you showed us, thanks!

They are Red Deer

Nice pics!!

Thanks! I need to study up on European deer -- I only easily recognize the white tails that visit my backyard.

Having white tails in my backyard I would be absolutely happy and content!



There is nothing like that on my balcony...

A young male is visiting tonight.

Now it is the ladies' turn.

The famous Russian balletdancer Nureyev must have been his
relative!!

Mom and the young ones -- so nice to see their coloring in the daylight.



Oops, color is gone!

2 Mr Magnificent are there. The other one is on the left side I didn't had time to make a pic but there was another one with a nice crowns either

Now he (or another one) crossed the feeding ground from the back

A big pig is keeping them away from the food
