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!

WendyBartter said:wonder if it's tail has been stripped of fur??
Yes, it was a poorly Ground Squirrel, WENDY. It must have been very desperate to be out at that time of the night!
Also, the critter who ran by and didn't stop to catch it was, I am told - a JACK RABBIT (hare), not a Bobcat, lol.
I found a user manual for new laptop, it was on the site of the ODM (original design manufacturer, I think) in Hong Kong, so at least I've been able to ID the Fn buttons and some of the lights.
Packing up now.
Good news about the user manual Scylla! Have you found a compatible photo editor yet? Any more news about old laptop?

I've still got faithful IrfanView, plus Photoscape X and Photoshop Express (those 2 per Microsoft Store), but as far as I know there isn't another free photo editor that will do the fabby thing that that Photoscape will do (for Ceulan and Glesni-to-be):
And !!!
I've just had news that my laptop has been mended and can be picked up this afternoon @ £210. I have no idea whether they've had to reinstall Windows, I understood that there were "physical" problems in the power area.
Naturally I'm in two minds now - this substitute doesn't lose the network very often, the keyboard lights are much better and it's lovely to type on and it's faster at editing, being 2-3 years younger...
I've jumped the gun with Glaslyn 2024 - but am paranoid that we'll freeze up and I'll miss the cut because of my biological clock. I welcome corrections/objections.

The Cooper's Hawk not catching anything, prowling at ground level!
I was going to crop a nice little vid of the Hawk drinking at the pool - but it turned out to be a Ground Squirrel
Gosh, the Spaniards don't do things by halves
I've no idea what the birdies are:

I think that the small raptor may have been a Lesser Kestrel - since I've had google translate the description and find some info for me, which one should have done before
Did have a brief look at a pdf of 100 Spanish birds Scylla but it was far too laborious, sorry!
From LG FB, nearly 2 weeks ago!
Didn't realise you hadn't seen this sooner Scylla, I did post it on another LG thread when this upgrade was throwing up so many problems, can't for the life of me remember where now!
It's a great tragedy alright!
