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!

I've misled everyone about Trevor - it was just that at the end of last season he had to have heart investigations for an existing condition, and then he got flu, and, altho we wouldn't necessariy expect him to spend time here off-season, I had found myself worrying about him, and thought I'd do the GSWs in case he'd been lurking.
That said - hiya CC !!! Apparently there is one particularly nasty cold virus going around here, it's said to last for ages and be very flu-like - sounds like that's the one you've suffered, it's obviously got no respect for borders... or oceans Have a happy day birding with your friends
Glaslyn has been mainly wet and dull for days - Heather found these Ravens (ID'd by me via the voice of one):
Mojave
The Bobcat is still a frequent visitor but I decided not to post videos unless the quality is decent or there's a something of note to report.
During the afternoon they changed over to the "pop-up" cam...
...while the main cam was being decorated for Christmas. But all the coloured lights had to be switched off:
However, I understood that outdoor lights at night are bad for wildlife - and the mice have stayed away so far.

I am ok painful to hold my arm on desk to use the mouse
mussel cramps never in the same place two days running
gets bad in the night wares off in the day
my regards to everyone . Thank you CC for worrying
still looking at posts from Time to Time
Loved the ravens, thank you Scylla (I couldn't resist replying to a post from Diane on non-osprey thread and popped your gorgeous photo and frame of GSWs into my reply- I did give you credit )
And yep, bright lights at night bad for wildlife - bats and moths and so on. And why do so many humans insist on the flashing sort, sigh. Sorry fans - it's just that I'm not. Forgive me,

I'll choose the positive bit to quote Thanks so much for the reassurance (((TREVOR))) but I'm so sorry that all's not 100% well. I hope you'll still be able to enjoy your Christmas dinner!

Thank you for publicising my GSWs, CIRRUS
Unknown said:Thank you for the ravens, Scylla. I can never tell them from crows here
I only managed our 2 by the voice! American Crows are almost impossible (for me) to distinguish from Ravens.
White-crowned Sparrow on the pop-up cam - I'm sure I saw one or two of these mentioned in BirdGuides this week as being seen in the UK.
The pop-up cam is good because we get a bit closer view of the Gambel's Quail - they're too low-res on the main cam - it's frustrating, tho, because they run like lghtning but haven't done it yet on the pop-up:
A Coyote turned up unusually in broad daylight!
And now... after weeks and weeks without problems... my downloader has crashed again so I'm going to have to let it rest for a few hours and hope it's stable when restarted.
Not the best footage but was amazed how busy the feeder was
If you don't know what they are Tuff I forgot to say my memory gone ?Crestie
