Continuing THOMO's LG feeder, and including other cams as per title.
First, some LG feeder snaps & vids from the past couple of days.
Female & male GSWs, joined up by trickery - you may notice that the peanut tube is misshapen
Nasty Great Coal Tit:
No trickery for the 2 Blue Tits:
Now for the torture - I just cannot figure out Greenfinch or female Chaffinch:
This was in flight so has had to be sharpened a lot:
Little vid:
No mistaking the evening Crestie!
IMAGICAT
If you haven't come across this Namib desert live cam, I can recommend it. You never know who's going to drop in for a drink! Tonight in this screenshot it's a black-backed jackal, but you can hear hyenas in the distance.

I used to "do" Africam Verreaux's eagles and that site had watering holes, but not as good as this one! I'm temporarily downloading it, it's the least I can do in appreciation, Geemeff
Hyena and Jackal (you'll get nothing more specific from me!)... the Jackal backed off.
But the closer they get, the fuzzier:
Got woken up when I did it again !!!
I was ever so brave and managed to twig the actuality:
There were 2 of these - I'm only used to seeing huge herds of them being crocked crossing rivers!
The other cam, the Kalahari waterhole, was manned last night, but it's rather grainy so I didn't extract anything - except this, entitled "Signs of misfortune in the sand":
Our regular desert - Mojave
A coyote finished off the fruit salad:
From one extreme to another - chilly Boreal Ontario, where the Flying Squirrel is still calling in - last night landing with a bang!
Back to temperate reality - Glaslyn:
Couldn't get a fuller shot of the squirrel couple:
Namib desert
The flocklets of birds in 'n out should, by the sound of them, be a variety of Babbler - but I don't think they are - anyone know what they are likely to be in this location, behaving like this?
Jackal in the evening:
There is an online chat link on namib desert website so asked the question about bird varieties ...

Typically kind of you, WENDY I looked at lists of birds myself but can't narrow it down to the (with a small "b") babblers.
See this lovely Eland on the Kalahari cam:
This was among broken shells, quite near to the Gemsbok horns I posted before:
Mojave
06 December - Bobcat - may have caught a mouse... or not!
07 December - This morning's feast:
I've stopped downloading the African desert cams - this is left over from the evening/night of the 6th:
Some sad news for those of you who knew Quiet Woman , Pat SouterI received a card from her daughter Carol telling me that Quiet Woman passed over quietly in her sleep on 20th November . Her funeral was yesterday, so not receiving the card until this morning I was unable to attend actually, gratefully so because of the weather here.I met Quite Woman at least a couple of times over the years at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust , Slimbridge. 25 miles from Bristol which is where I live. Please pass the news on to any you feel may like to know

I remember her from my very early days but didn't get to know her. Thank you for letting everyone know, CIRRUS
.
Positively last snaps from the desert cams:
Possibly a Scrub Hare:
Unknown owl had a bathe:
Boreal Ontario
After deep snow was cleared, Tammie set out the seeds in separate piles - and it appeared that the Redpoll had various individual preferences:
Thank you Scylla. How very interesting concerning the Redpolls but I'm actually not surprised !
My teeth , jaw and internet are still their own individual misery.
