Our study was aimed to establish the circadian activity of the Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and the Stone marten (Martes foina) in the protected area "Zlatiyata", situated in an agricultural landscape. The study was conducted from September 2021 to March 2022 using camera traps. It provides new data on the behavioral ecology of the target species contributing to the knowledge of their co-existence in croplands.
