Boars cam, winter 2012 - 2013

Good night, Ergee.

We are going out to dinner this evening; so you are on your own for a while, Garina. I am sure that the moose and wolves will show up while I am gone.

Good night Ergee
Have a nice dinner Bisky!

Two of the younger deer were awaiting my return home.

I am back online again - This time the problem was in the modem Thankfully the modem comes with the line so we don't have to pay for that. It took a few days to get a new one but now we have it. Good to be able to get around on the net as normal.

First thing I saw was 4 deer

Glad to have you back, Caysa!

Okay, what is shining between the trees in the back?


It looks like a single star or planet at the WTE cam site that is not moving


It is still visible on the WTE Cam, but is now gone at the pig cam. Maybe the raccoon dog ate it? Could it have been the comet?


It is only early afternoon here, so I cannot go out and look for it in our sky. And it is supposed to be cloudy tonight here. On the comet video from Australia that AllyKass posted in her Den, there is also a very bright object to the right of the comet.

Good evening Bisky,
Probably you have seen the narrow sickle of the moon at the sky
above the boarscam. It is very narrow because on 11.3 the new moon
was beginning to be visible..forming the letter P..from premier..the open side to the left.
At WTE it could be a planet or a big star, I do not know where is the
West there...the planet Jupiter should be visible in the west but
I'm not sure at all! Or Syrius a big shining star. I like to see those things on the webcams..and also to see them here, but at the moment the sky is cloudy again with some snowshowers.

Loner arrived!


I think it was the moon. It sets down quite soon on new moon

Hi Caysa!!! Glad you're back

Hallo Garina and hello to Caysa too .Good so see you here again!
Caysa back, habemus Papam from Argentina; that land has produced some important persons: our next queen comes from Argentina too..Maxima!
And now even the big loner came!
That will do for me, a short evening at the Pc tonight.
Wish you alle interesting things to watch!

Early morning here 5.50 am. The thermometer outside my kitchen window shows -28C.
Ilmatsalu is not quite that cold, around -15C and seems like some snow has fallen. Dogs are barking and howling somewhere further away....

ct 15.05
rd and 2 magpies.

Caysa : that was really early! Dogs howling or maybe wolfs?? Not that
close at your home?

Everyone sharing.

Hobble's group has arrived.

Ct 19.05.
I wonder if it is Hobble or Tripod. Or is there no more Hobble and
only the other? Or just the other way round?
Don't know but this boar misses a piece of his leg I would say..
And ....I really don't know who is who...but a poor animal it surely is!

The moon again and a deer in the back.


A little later, the moon is gone but we have a new visitor.

A lonely roe deer


then another one came, but they are not family nor friends


the first one is eating a tree?


and another one came

8!

An owl came and they all left

Wow Garina!!! This has to be a new record!!
Amazing picture - thank you!!!!

CT 13.00 about -7*.

Mait brought extra food..4 buckets full and after that a bucket with acorns etc.
Boars and roedeer eat need lots of food.

Raccoon dogs need food, too!

The weather is so cold and the snow is so deep - many of the deer visiting the feeding place might not survive without this help....
Thank you Mait & company!!

Ct between 7.30 and 8.30 pm

As the 2 groups, the group of 12 or more and the group of mostly 6 or 7 boars came in these time, one group after the other , it was possible to see who is Hobble and who is Tripod.



The smaller group has Tripod, look at the above pic, piece of right fore leg misses.

------------------------------------------------------------------


The bigger group, 12 or more, has Hobble.



Hobble's right fore leg is bent, but not shorter and still has claws.

Not yet seen the Limpy group.

And NOW I've just seen the Limpy group!



The left fore leg from Limpy is bent.

I think now we have all differences together and it will be easier to
know: Who is Who!

Thanks, Ergee! Hopefully now I can keep my pig identification more accurate.

Another tiny sliver of moon is showing tonight.

Piggies!!! And the moon is going away

Beautiful buck!

The buck ran away and now it's pigs time

Good evening Bisky and Garina,
Nice to see both of you! Garina you told us about an owl that
frightened the roedeer, could you see the bird or
did you recognize the voice? Was it that soft peep peep calling
Pygmy owl or another one?

Hi Ergee! I recognized the voice

That is nice! And this time the roedeer were frightened? The other
night they payed no attention to it. Maybe the circumstances were
different, more or less wind and other sounds.
