Makov Animal Rescue Station
One of our favourites.
The Pond cam has remained throughout the year, with new-to-us maturing cygnets and fawns still at the bottle-feeding stage:
No table manners !!!
The second cam has been a White Stork nest, which I have not been following during Osprey season. The nest is very close to the ground because the Storks can't fly!
Today I find that the second cam has reverted to the birdie feeder we love - except it's been totally refurbished! (Wish they'd zoom out just a teeny tad.) Improved sound !!! And look who popped in a few seconds after I started the download
This was an incidental I came across on BirdwatchingHQ (you know how he hosts lots of cams unrelated to his own):
"Nocturnal thieves..."
IMAGICAT
Oh dear, Laddie will have his work cut out for him next year. I so remember Odin having a battle with the grass one year in particular at LG.
Lady Chaffie still managed a good gnaw on the peanut. Great to see great tit blue tit and coal tit. Many thanks Scyla
Harriet and M15 are so in tune with each other - but the cams went down:
Evening at Makov pond:
This rat is not disabled, it's stealing food meant for the less fortunate
It was there much longer than I've shown.
A night or two ago (I'm all behind) Heather found Barn Owls - it took me as long to extract them as they spend on-cam, over 2 hours!
Later they spent the night up in the tree again:

I'll post this, in case it gets moderated.
Crestie leaves the feeder alongside its shadow:
Both of them great shots Scylla
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Lynn L said:Think poor Laddie will have to get the lawn mower out to that lot!!
I think it's going to be more work next season than usual - but I don't mind because it's such a pleasure to watch him tame the nest
Crestie, Coalie, Tree-ie
The Sparrowhawk again ??? It was there for 2 minutes, I made a crafty rough cut as well as the one you can plainly see. (
Yesterday afternoon they did some stuff with the cam and it went down, hasn't yet recovered as I type:
They refilled the LG feeder... I presume It didn't appear to need refilling (we're getting nowhere near the number of birds we used to see, but maybe it's not the full feeder season yet):
This morning - the first pre-daycam of a Crestie I've managed to spot - in the old days they were often first in and last out
Later, brightened on a dull day:
The SW Florida nest cam has been dark 2 nights running, see the red notice, which says "Not enough power for both camera and pan tilt motors".
In the morning the pair came to check the nest:
That was after Harriet had persuaded M to mate on the branch - cropped from tree cam:
Hurricane Ian hardly caused H&M to break their stride - hopefully we'll soon see an egg which I'll post in News from Other Nests.
Nice breakfast viewing , thank you Scylla, but didn't look like mowing to me , well, it did, but the grass remained the same height ! Lovely snaps of the Cresite and I'm borrowing the video of the LG feeder for Zilpha.. Such a pity the cam was out of focus for the Sparrow Hawk (not your fault)
