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..."

Lovely captures Sandra, thanks
It's a sparrow hawk Scylla with the sun shining on its feathers. I do hope RSPB refills the feeder pronto !
Sweet deer enjoying the hand held treat- thanks Scylla

Thanks! I put "Query Sparrowhawk" in the title originally but then chickened out
The pheasant monopolised the tray for 10 minutes!
Early next morning, a Blackbird
Makov
Great Egret had a dead duckling(?) for supper:
The Pheasant has been a regular lately, especially in the evenings:
The first overnight mouse of the winter - it's been too cold for them, I expect. (I had to rescue this from a botch.)
Having claimed that the Pheasant visits in the evenings, here it was in the morning after new treats had been put out - and there was a Blackbird again and a GSW - I left out the Great Tits and Tree Sparrows.
LG Feeder - It was refilled on the 19th afternoon and I dutifully did a vid - but saved it in the wrong format and was unable to rescue it when I belatedly realised :(((
It having been late in the day, there wasn't a huge amount of activity until the following morning, when all the usuals got into gear, including the Cresties - this is the result of 2 pics that happily fit together:
It's been very busy at the feeder ever since.
19 December @ Lowes - forgot to post!
Hardy birdies out on the Loch:
Thank you Scylla, I enjoyed all the videos and you certainly 'snapped' some wonderful framed captures.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Lynn L said:I am sincerely hoping that our Scylla is all right, have not seen her posting now, for several days??
Hi Catlady and Korky, Yes, hoping Scylla is well.
I've checked Scylla's YouTube channel and there are a couple of Starr Ranch Barn Owl videos that were uploaded yesterday.
