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):

Y'all may be disappointed but not surprised that it took me rather a long time to ID this pretty bird - I was searching in the wrong cerebral compartment, it happens too often
That afternoon - men in uniform were on the river!
Ryl Albatross, NZ

Nothing to report from LotL except that the bark slab has made a yellow patch in the otherwise lush grass.

Hello Jan,
Thank you for your email and letting us know the feeder was empty. This sometimes happens more quickly than we prepare for so it good to get emails to let us know if this occurs.
Kind regards,
Fergus

Please would you fill up the bird feeder. It’s empty and the cresties and so on are bewildered at an empty feeder,
So am I but thank you for not taking offence at my email,

Thank you Scylla, I just loved the Starling in its autumn / winter plumage. Just like pearly kings and queens in London.
Wonderful videos of the Albatross and its dear little one Scylla. Thank you
Thank you for the blog link, JILL I never get notifications of blogs, so would have missed it.

Me too! They're cutting it fine, I presume they're not worried about the sounds carrying to the nest, or maybe they think that the Ospreys won't take any notice of distant banging and crashing and traffic, as long as it's all out of their sight.
Loved your addition to Fergus' Blog Scylla thank you . It's a super great 'snap'

A big cruise ship diverted its course (I make-believe) especially to view the Albatrosses - and the birds got a good view of it:
