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..."

Oh thank you, Richard - that's disappointing as we've had it before but I couldn't remember and couldn't go googling at the time.

Heehee, I decided to check the latest Glaslyn footage rather than post the above immediately, and lo! Two Stock Doves pottered for more than half an hour - I've just shown the best view of one of them:
The only critters found in an early-morning trawl of the cams - they'd only just flown in, the nest had been empty overnight:

And look who I came across while looking for something else...

C L A R E !!!
I had a couple of options for each of these "gulls" but neither fit totally - the first one shouldn't have brown wings and the second could be either Little or Black-headed in winter garb ???
The first gull is a Herring Gull , and, the second gull is a Black Headed Gull Scylla, thank you

Thank you! Herring Gull was among my options for the first, and the second I couldn't tell if it was Black-headed or Little. A YouTuber has commented:
1 Lesser Black Backed Gull 2 Black headed gull 1st winter.
With the first, I was put off by the apparently brown wings:
Last evening the EGs popped on for 10 minutes or so, I couldn't tell if they left in a panic or not - they were chuntering for a while before skedaddling. (No Cormorants seen so far.)
Lovely pic of female Blackbird gathering nest material at the top of the page.

Too embarrassed to make this public so it's Unlisted:

Arkaig1 - another red-facer !!! I've only tried Stonechat, no good.
Manton Bay - the EGs have been on 'n off the nest all day.

No!
I mean, I don't doubt you for one moment, thank you, RICHARD - but how could I miss that?
Aha! Checking on full screen, I had thought she was holding something in her beak... Please may it sink in this time!
Morning all....... (Syclla pinching your early slot...CHOL:):)
