The Badgers are coming to the hide much later, with the daylight hours extending until after 10 pm, we have adjusted our start time and this can mean some very late nights. One night after 11 pm, a female Badger walked in and was transitioning into her summer coat. Her fur was mostly blonde, but with a grey patch spreading down the neck. I explained to the guests that the grey patch was the summer coat coming through and it looks a deeper silvery grey than its winter coat.

Estonia is one of the most well-known countries for watching wildlife in Europe and this year on our tour led by Roy Atkins, we’ll be going in search of some of the best wildlife in Europe. Brown Bears are a feature of this holiday and we shall spend one night in the Alutaguse area with a chance to see them at a special hide. The European Brown Bear is one of Europe’s largest land mammals.
