Cool Stuff: Denmark Wildlife Cam

Since the world is ... rough at present, here is something cool that I figure is worth sharing.

In this case, a lovely 24/7 wildlife cam featuring (mostly) badgers, foxes, birds, raccoon dogs, martens, rodents, and the occasional housecat.  


It is located in Denmark and is run by a a nature photographer named Morten Hilmer.
