A Red Deer hind (Cervus elaphus) turned up at the lower scratchpost, used the tree to scratch her head and then, curiosity got the best of her and made her sniff the trail camera to see what the heck that thing on the nearby tree was all about. A “hind” is what a female red … Continue reading “Trail Cam Footage of Red Deer Hind Scratching Head and Sniffing Camera”

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”
Trail Camera at Lower Scratchpost Films Wild Boars, Red Fox and Roe Deer
The lower scratchpost is only about 500 meters from the location of the injured badger’s hole. When I visit one, I usually visit the other one as well. The trail camera I have at the lower scratchpost is the best one I have, in terms of image quality and reliability. It does have a downside … Continue reading “Trail Camera at Lower Scratchpost Films Wild Boars, Red Fox and Roe Deer”
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.

Wild Boars, Foxes and Deer Captured on Trail Cam at Upper Scratchpost
That the trail camera I have set up at the upper scratchpost has been a disappointment is something I have already talked about. As of my latest visit to the upper scratchpost, a new disappointment is added to the growing list – the cam drains batteries like mad. Too Many Issues Among the biggest problems … Continue reading “Wild Boars, Foxes and Deer Captured on Trail Cam at Upper Scratchpost”
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”
Lower Scratchpost Trail Camera Moved to Even Further Tree for Better Videos
The lower scratchpost has been a hit and miss. I started monitoring it with a trail camera set up on a nearby tree. I got good footage from there, but because the trail cam has a very narrow field of view, it only captured parts of the animals in its original location. Having only parts … Continue reading “Lower Scratchpost Trail Camera Moved to Even Further Tree for Better Videos”
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”
