The dominant feature of Episode Ten of My Adventures at the Injured Badger Hole is a loud roar of an elusive animal. I speculate in the video that it could be a deer, as roe deer (Capreolus Capreolus) are known to bark like that, but alarm calls made by red foxes (Vulpes Vulpes) can also … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 10”

My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 09
Day 13 at the injured badger hole turned out to be really nippy. With temperatures at -10 degrees Celsius and a heavy fog shrouding the area and thus blocking the sun, video recording with my palm sized Canon camera was a challenge. There’s no way to operate the camera with gloves on, and without gloves, … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 09”

The trail camera I have at the wildlife scratchpost introduced in this video has the best image quality of all the trail cams I own, but unfortunately also the narrowest field of view (FOV) of them all.

Due to his debilitating injury, the … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 08”
My Encounters with Chill Roe Deer Trio (Capreolus Capreolus)
Roe Deer are fairly widespread throughout most of Europe and where I live, I share the woods with a number of them as well. Like all deer, the roe are very wary and spook easily when any one of them catches a wind of a human. I regularly run into the roe on my daily … Continue reading “My Encounters with Chill Roe Deer Trio (Capreolus Capreolus)”
Found Hoof and Bones from Deer – Possible Poacher Activity
On my daily strolls through the woods where I live, I came across a discarded hoof and bones from a fair sized deer. I don’t know who exactly left it there, but the suspicion popped in my mind that I may have poachers hunting in my forest. I know the licensed hunters who are allowed … Continue reading “Found Hoof and Bones from Deer – Possible Poacher Activity”
