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

Mr GB suggests the white bird on the left of your red circle is a Great White Egret and the other is a Stork as you suggest. The Tit is not a Coal Tit because yours lacks the white bit on the back of the neck. Also not a Great Tit. However, I've no idea if it is a Willow or Marsh Tit or possibly there may be other Tits there as well--do not know. With luck, someone will tell us.

Thank you, MrGB

Interesting set of pics and vids Scylla. Definitely agree the birds in the red circle are GW Egret and a Stork, I would say a White Stork.

Hi All,
Just jumping in with a great link. Many of you may have seen it before but I love it so much I thought I'd share. It's the Mississippi Flyway cam. I love watching all the arrivals and departures of the great flocks but also think the Bald Eagles are very entertaining especially when the mighty Mississippi freezes in winter and the eagles skid along it! It's very peaceful to listen to as well! Very friendly and informative chatters too.

Here is a screen grab I took the other day:

Wow thanks Lisa! Another great collection of webcams!

Scuse the focus on bottie, I meant to take it out and forgot, due to problems at the other end of the video.

"Mice clean up the food tray at night" - they returned again and again.  Including many mini-cuts which I hope are not too noticeable.

An ultra-shortie from BirdwatchingHQ Ohio, where they have Raccoon/Opossum/Skunk etc at night (and mustn't forget the rabbits!).

One of these Blue Jays was collecting as many seeds in its beak as possible, while the other was tossing individual seeds and swallowing them  

(I don't think this cam is quite as high-res as it was last year... well, something's different about it.)

Rabbit was first in in the evening - here, it's about to skedaddle:

He has a broken tail - but as usual with animals, just gets on with his life  

Cake for the nighttime critters
