In February, one of our cameras caught three lynx cubs on film. We have 30 cameras in operation around the county and have received nearly 20 images  in a dozen places. The cameras are important for us to have a good knowledge of how many lynx we have. The survey will run from 1 October to the end of February. So far we have documented three family groups in the county: North Olofström, Northern Karlshamn  and Eastern Karlskrona.

All have been caught on film, but we have been able to trace 2 of the families in the snow.  The kits in the film are from the north of Kyrkhult. Photographer Le Carlsson.

For a accurate results in our inventory, it is important that the public report if a lynx or any other of the big predators are spotted. You can report via skandobs.se or phone call to our predator tracker / inspectors, which can be found on the county website.
