Continuing THOMO's LG feeder, and including other cams as per title.

First, some LG feeder snaps & vids from the past couple of days.

    I noticed that the Makov rescue station has put the basket feeder back online, here's my summary from today - if anyone can ID the blue storky/herony bird, please enlighten me.

    (EDIT - Sorry, I forgot to take the middle out of the carrot-chopping, so it goes on too long.)

    It's a youngish Common Crane. The lamb is a young Mouflon a type of wild sheep native to Cyprus, Turkey etc.

  • Wow, thanks so much TeeJay AstonishedHugging

    I am fairly sure that the Crane is a newish resident - I don't remember ever seeing it since I've been following sporadically over the past few years.

    It seems that the disabled "deer" from late October has been operated on, I thought it was a vain wish at the time Green heart

    I didn't read anything anywhere, WENDY - but in October the "deer" (who is actually a Mouflon, a wild sheep, as per TEEJAY's advice) was on its knees, harrowing to see.  It seems to be using one leg quite well now, with the other straight but rather dangly but, if my fave dog rescuer is anyone to go by, it may well strengthen over time.

    I'm hoping that's the situation - but if we see it on its knees again we'll know I've erred! Hugging

  • The Mouflon can be seen occasionally on the main Markov cam. It's walking on four legs and appears to have a cast on its leg. It's very tame so can probably never be released because I'm told they get hunted in Czechia.
