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..."

The Albatross chick seems to be getting used to the rabbits:
Still a flock of waterfowl overnight at Glaslyn:
A little further up the hill for the Albatross chick:
So grown up now . Thank you Scylla
All so true Gardenbirder,your very informative post much appreciated and yes dear Monty , Nora, and Glesni still very much missed . I too love Idris but so different and that's the way it should be - each a unique individual Osprey -and he does so take care of his family.
Ah dear chick not as big as I thought when curled up and so close to the rabbits. I loved all the little moths ! Thanks Scylla
Amazing peregrine + bald eagle snap on Facebook.
A very busy evening at the distant Albatross nest, here are samples. I managed to reduce the wind but it may have distorted the birds' voices a little - can't be helped.
Well, pardon me but what strange behaviour . A long wait for a parent then two show up and show no interest in their chick ! Apart from the fur pulling episode anyway, and no meal. ,mmmmm Did i miss something ?

(1) There's a second nest where the adults were congretating. (2) I hope you managed to stay the course* till "our" chick's parent showed up and fed it, and stayed a good few hours overnight.
*Trouble is, if I'd cut down even more of the long congregation, it wouldn't have been as educative, viewers could think they were only there for half a minute/whatever. I'm always torn.
The cam went down at about 23:35 last night (our time), not yet recovered.
Glaslyn
Here's one for you, CIRRUS - no neck markings - and it was too early yesterday morning for Heather to be on zoom duty:
Late afternoon - the mystery of the disappearing swans
GARDENBIRDER 'n all - this is what I have, rightly or wrongly, diagnosed - there is also a blackish box over to the right (?) but it wasn't focused on last evening, neither was any owl seen:
This morning these ducks dived their way into view from the bottom/right corner - again, no zoom:
That's up to 07:00.
Loch Garten
Looks like no activity yet to ready the nest for Axel... remember the year when Richard had the nest so deeply covered in moss/licheny stuff that EJ was quite discombobulated? Dang-blast, there's no hope of me finding a snap, I wonder if anyone else can?
(No little birdies seen yet.)
.
EDIT - I thought this was EJ and the deep moss in 2012 - but now am not so sure, it might have been a year later ???
It looks like a Stock Dove to me on the Glaslyn nest Scylla, no neck markings.
