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..."

Boreal Ontario
My Gray Jay
It tried the peanut butter but didn't like it:
Then a posh new feeder was put in the PB's place and the PB moved to the right side of the array:
Then a selfish squirrel dived at a birdie (Pine Grosbeak?) about to land, it turned tail in mid air and fled:
Gray Jay came back:
I'm having my central heating boiler replaced today, please cross your fingers for me, this has been so very traumatic
OMG Scylla dear - my heart goes out to you. I can well imagine the trauma and hassle (and if you don't have a considerate workman) the mess , having gone through same a few years ago.
Fingers, toes , legs and everything I can are crossed.
And , I just love your assortment of birdies and frames today. Delightful, And, yes, a very posh feeder !

The Great Egret's gait!
On the 15th about 95% of the visitors on the feeder were Great Tits - and that's a conservative estimate. They were punctuated by Jay, Nuthatch, Blue Tit, Squirrel - but only occasionally.
Today so far the Tree Sparrows have turned up in numbers - here they were dispersed (temporarily) by a Pheasant:
It's starting to be Christmas! The Flying Squirrel ran off with an early Christmas dinner!

Oh! I think I stopped downloading when the cam went down... months ago ??? I shall restart pronto - thanks so much Sandra, what a lovely scene
Not that I expect much activity in this weather, but we never know ;)
Hi Scylla,
I took these on the 14th. The cam had been down for a day or two. I found this cheeky corvid rolling a piece of bark it had 'unearthed' from the grass at the front edge of the nest.
The cam was zoomed in
Scylla - at around 14:30 today. There was a little bit of activity after it had landed on the perch with a couple of corvids flying close - it did chase after one of them.
A carer tried to film the young deer while feeding them pretty browse:

I've managed to crop off a corvid plus I can't ID the hawk/falcon
New PB-spread bread put down, no Flying Squirrels overnight so it was waiting for the right birdies this morning, and the Gray Jays took advantage:

Poor little Robin at dawn - can the RSPB have run out of peanuts?
