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..."

Very brave Jay ! birds certainly are master of the air. Thanks for the videos Scylla
Memories
POT PLANT OWL - 17 OCTOBER 2020
(I missed this entirely)
Fabby-dabby feeder and nestbox cams found in a garden in northern Germany @ Recke.
Ground feeder, with adaptation from day to night - and they've got a cam permanently zoomed on a little tray of pumpkin seeds. You can imagine it was all rather a lot to cope with, I just caught the pigeons and a female pheasant (I hope), but saw blackbirds and a magpie earlier, besides the usual spadgers and tits.
SIX nestboxes on one cam, with a crop showing mice taking advantage of an empty box:
10 Blue Tits nearly ready to fledge:
I really hope the new owners don't turf PPO out !

The whole family of owls died thru trichomoniasis (or variation on that word), it would be a great surprise if another adopted the patio.
Was puzzled by this, as it's too early for bluetits to nest. Now see that it's from May 2022!
Mmmm, wondered about that myself Jill, so thank yoiu
Oh, oh, oh. I am so sad but thank you for letting me know Scylla

Just another sign of global warning ?!

The title is ""Mini & Pip" 2022 Bird Nest Box (Eurasian Bluetit)" and the timeline is 2022 - but it didn't strike me that it's now 2023 !!! I just relied on the LIVE button - how weird, and well spotted, JILL
That's knocked my confidence in YouTube live streams, how can historic streams be portrayed as Live? We can't believe anything we see
Catchups
LotL - frosty, on the 16th the big black corvid (cos someone on YT told me it was a crow, not a raven) visited twice, didn't do much or show up well.
LG Feeder - just checking for signs of Siskins, none so far - I had to delete a lot of footage once I checked for that and that the Cresties are still around.
Crestie with a morsel:
Here was a snowed-on squirrel the day before yesterday morning - and we've now got a timeline - thank you, whoever you are !!!
And yesterday afternoon a Wood Pigeon briefly visited - the format of the feeder didn't really suit it:
Boreal Ontario
I'm tearing thru hoping that any large bird - like the Ruffed Grouse - will still catch my eye... ... ... No-one did, and I've discovered that I shut it down for a couple of days. During the up-time = loads and loads of Common Redpoll, quite a few Pine Grosbeaks, frequent Blue Jays, one Gray Jay, the usual Chickadees... I didn't notice any Evening Grosbeaks.
Last year's German Blue Tit babies - these are gaping at a parent's tail as it departs!
I won't be able to catch any fledges until there are only a few left.
