Compilation of European Badgers Caught on Trail Cam at Sett Entrance in Fall

This is the first video I produced which contains animal footage only, without my talking. I also kept the original audio recorded by the trail camera, without using a music track. If it looks like it’s more appreciated than the way I made my previous videos, I will make more of these. The video is … Continue reading “Compilation of European Badgers Caught on Trail Cam at Sett Entrance in Fall”

Injured Badger Hole Saga Takes Unexpected Turn

My Adventures at the Injured Badger Hole saga went on for 14 episodes. I have concluded the adventure in Episode 13, but made one more episode in order to return the area to the state it was in before I started my attempt to save the life of the injured badger. That was it, and … Continue reading “Injured Badger Hole Saga Takes Unexpected Turn”

My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 14

So that’s it. I’m officially calling it quits on My Adventures at the Injured Badger Hole. Until further notice, Episode 14 will be the last episode of the series. As much as it pains me to admit it, everything seems to suggest that my mission to save the life of the injured badger has failed. … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 14”

My Mission to Save Life of Solitary Bee

As I was returning home after dusk on a cold winter day, I noticed a lone been on the porch. She was motionless. It was 0 degrees Celsius outside at the time, and whereas the night has just begun, the likelihood of the upcoming freezing temperatures was high. I knew right away that the cold-blooded … Continue reading “My Mission to Save Life of Solitary Bee”

I Take Hike to Sett of Badger Pair, Trail Cam Footage Shows Them Active in Winter

I have been monitoring the sett of the European Badger pair (Meles Meles) for almost a year. This is however only the second time I documented my trip to the sett on video. The first document was part of the Injured Badger Hole Series, Episode 06. I made plans and announced the intent to go … Continue reading “I Take Hike to Sett of Badger Pair, Trail Cam Footage Shows Them Active in Winter”

My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 13

My Adventures at the Injured Badger Hole are winding down. I started the series right after finding out the badger was injured. I didn’t know how it’s gonna end and I wish it would have ended differently. I did all that was in my power to help save the badger’s life, but it would seem … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 13”

My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 12

I started Day 16 of My Adventures at the Injured Badger Hole by going through the forest in a -16 degrees Celsius cold weather. The presence of two numbers 16 is purely coincidental. Walk Through the Woods As explained in Episode 09 of the Adventures, prior to the winter’s deep freeze, I used to go … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 12”

My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 11

The forest where I live is not all that big. It’s about 10km by 6km in size, which is not large enough for large predatory animals, like the bears, lynx or wolves. There is a more expansive forest about 30km from me, which is more than a 100km across, and that’s already large enough so … Continue reading “My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 11”

My Adventures at Injured Badger Hole – Episode 10

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”
