Red Deer Cam (Saarema Island)

i don't see the THING anymore 

But it's there... Wait until they eat the hay

Winter began! and the cam is many times off
Yesterday

And today

Many of them came early

with lots of fights for food...

And after some pigs

All the red deer left except one of the oldest males


And finally only pigs

It's nice to hear the munch munch..

A fox


A red deer and a fox (the fox is under the   )


There are 2 always fighting


And a lady

And now a large party: pigs, red deer, young, old and a female (with 2 fighting in the right back)

Now it's only pigs

I like seeing all the hoof prints in the new snow.

Mr. Magnificent is there eating a lot!



Today it's not so noisy. Last nights I had to turn the sound off because they were fighting all the time and the nock nock of the antlers didn't stop

There was a young male (with tiny antlers) in the feeding ground. First I thought it was Mr. Magnificent or one of the older males who had lost his antlers but then I saw the tiny (5 to 10 cm?) antlers...








It almost seems that the rut season is on! They fight, they call  

Lots of pigs!!!

A poor punky pig alone in the snow looking for food

Punky has company today.

And yesterday he also had but later (when the snow stopped)

I haven't seen the 2 older red deer in these last days. Maybe they're already "bald" and too ashamed to appear

I wonder if Mr. M is still considered the big boss without his antlers.  Would the youngsters still fear him?

I think so. I remember that at the begining he took time to approach the hay but the others gave him way...

New food!!

BTW: not yesterday but the day before I saw at least one of the older males with the antlers "on"

Wet feet! Maybe the will drown?

We need to mail them warm socks and boots!

Mr. Magnificent is smarter
