deer survived the winter

On Saturday February 25th we had a very good warm and sunny weather. We left on our river Sidra to observe the birds returning in the spring. On the bridge near the Jaczne dostrzeliśmy lapwings and 2 ducks on the water. In the distance they were grazing deer. Then we went to visit a second bridge near Butrymowiec. On the way back we encountered a herd of deer a little closer. The total is 13 deer. The number of these animals decreased significantly after the winter 2014/15. A friend hunter said sarnom lacked drinking water and have benefited from the salt on the roads. Deer do not eat snow, and so do not satisfy thirst. At the second bridge we saw a flock of crows gray, which does not meet elsewhere. Then she noticed a fox aimed in the direction of the river. Here are some pictures from the trip.

encounter with a fox

Today, November 1 we went to the lake to traditional plunge into the cool water for a few minutes. Passing nearby meadows in the distance I saw a fox who searched the tall grass. I decided to take pictures despite a considerable distance. Not getting out of the car through the open window I made a few pictures, but the fox saw us and walked away toward the forest.

MEETING WITH THE FOX

Even though we have the second half of May, it is quite chilly at night and the temperature near the ground reaches below 0 degrees. Yesterday we went on a short trip to a nearby forest after sunset. First we heard an unknown voice calling, and then we saw in the distance a fox, which the sound seemed. I had never before heard such a voice. We watched it for more than 0.5 hours. I made some pictures. It was late and little light. Then he went to the other side of the hill and there I saw a male deer in high crops. We returned again at the previous place, and November is still called. I think that now is the mating season and this is the cry of male or female.
