Winter
The winter months are a good time to hunt for animal prints in the fresh snow. With a little help, you can easily learn to distinguish between the footprint of the different animals. You can clearly follow the hare’s path across the field. You can also follow the fox's track and see if last night’s hunt was a success.
The deer walk together in large herds. If you are lucky you might see them in the woods or out in the fields.
The first common tits, great tits and blue tits slowly pick up their song. Although it is still winter, there are signs of spring. For example, it is mating time for the foxes. If you hear scary barks and "screams" it may well be the foxes calling to each other.
Spend a Sunday at Lejre Museum and take a walk outside to look at the sights afterwards. You might meet Odin’s bird, the raven. It is not a common sight in Gl. Lejre. However, they are about and, in late winter, these big black birds can be very noisy when protecting their territory and kicking last year's young out of the nest. It is said that raven couples mate for life.
