'FORUM FRIENDS, WILDLIFE-FROM-WHEREVER' (Off-season, all cams off at Loch Garten)

Korky, I think I've found another cam link FYI
https://www.doc.govt.nz/. This is the place we visited 2 yrs ago.

Thanks Gardenbirder, scylla and Lisa for all your ID efforts. Much appreciated.

Thanks Tony. Yes, that's the same location as via the Cornell page link.

I'd hoped to see an albatross on my last visit to NZ, but no luck. We couldn't fit in a trip to Stewart Island but I have done quite a few of the other birding places, including the midnight kiwi tour at Okarito. I love NZ and am lucky to have family there including a bird-fanatic!

Thank you for the lovely Albatross pictures TONY

Well done, Scylla and Lisa, that certainly looks right, female Ladder-backed it is. There certainly are a lot of Woodpeckers in North America.

Some snaps from the Ohio bird feeder.

Scott has got the Starlings beat ;)

Our Caroline Wren was back:

For an unknown reason, all the birds flew off except the Goldfinch:

Busy busy Wood Mouse!  And after all this stashing, it was all turfed out later.

A very moustachioed Great Spotted Woodpecker

Message from Brian Morrell at Caerlaverock on 8th January - Many thanks for you patience, we have at last restored our webcams. We will now screen swancam from 0830-1700 and badgercam from 1700-0830. Watch out for otters during the day on the whooper pond. If you see the ducks and swans get out of the water the otters may be there as this morning. Happy viewing.

What a flurry of activity! Thanks Scylla. Nice to see the little guy there too!
