On Kontakt 24 we received a recording showing a duel of two red deer in a forest near Częstochowa. – My camera managed to capture a training skirmish between two large males. It’s an amazing sight – said Mr Dawid, the author of the recording.
The editors of Kontakt 24 were contacted by Mr. Dawid z Czestochowawho has been observing and recording wild animals in the forest for two years. Most likely on Wednesday, January 4 (the exact date is unknown), a camera set up by Reporter 24 registered a duel of two red deer in a forest near Częstochowa.
Deer skirmish
– It’s not like you can set the camera wherever you want and watch the animals. You need to know a lot about animals. These situations are recorded without anyone’s interference, stress-free for the animals. I’ve already seen various wild animals, for example, three martens that knocked over my camera. Recently, my camera managed to capture a training skirmish between two large males. It’s an amazing sight, said Mr. David.
– Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated by the forest. I used to go to the forest when I was four. I wanted to explore the wild. The idea to publish recordings from motion-sensitive cameras was born in college. I’m studying journalism and I thought I could combine my two interests – said the author of the recording.
