03 September - YW still here - early morning to early afternoon - several visits!

For the rest of the day, only corvid and spider activity seen - I did see the spider wrap a "fly" while still on daycam but it was too dark for a video, you'll be pleased to see.

That now applies to the whole day.  Will YW do an Axel?  I don't think so - but let's see if he does a Dylan

The video shows a number of birds zipping about after YW's visit and yes, I'd say some (all?) of them are stonechats. Unless they're something else

What a display of precision/covering-all-bases expertise   Korky, the fount of all knowledge - you've completely healed me

YW was back twice in the afternoon, each time landing slomo with a stick:

Yep, Stonechats  - well done video entrepreneur     

06 September

Very stormy last night in the hour up to midnight, YW's sticks got blow'd about.  Spider continued its routine afterwards.

No-one seen up to just before noon today - when the cam went offline and is not yet back.
