OFF-SEASON 2023-24 - FEEDERS & OTHER CRITTER CAMS

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 Stuck out tongue winking eye

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!

  • Loch Leven

    Treecreeper at the feeder:

    Robin chucked quite a few peanuts over the side, far more than s/he ate!

    That's from before the crash, I'm not recording anything UFN.

    The above items were posted last night and I thought I'd lost them, but when I just scrolled back up to hit Reply to the OP and re-post them, they're already here waiting for me in the reply box Smirk

    Here's a token snap of the EGs from yesterday (video posted in Rutland thread) - one was nibbling the other "affectionately":

    Just as I got up the Polish Forest Feeder the GSW appeared in a glitch and I thought of dear Trevor and had to capture it - not close enough for a snap (I've already cropped it) and maybe Trevor can't watch video so you'll have to narrate it for him @SUPERPUD ... such as it isStuck out tongue winking eye

    .

    All the above was captured yesterday before downloader crashed.

  • Lovely captures as usual Scylla, good to see you're still with us!  Just going to see what issues have been raised since I very gratefully logged off last night!

  • Lord love it, I can’t figure out nothin’ on this new interface of threaded replies! But thank you Scylla for all the lovely captures, I’m sure I’ve missed a lot of anything else. Cry

  • Yes, I thank you too Scylla. Lovely GSW and tree creeper  video.

  • Loch Leven

    Mr and Mrs Blackbird - there was a kerfuffle in a blur, I think they had a tiff at one stage - she seemed to descend upon him but it was all a blur.  I think there were 2 different males.

    I'm hoping you'll agree that this is a female Chaffinch - it took me long enough to decide...

    Polish squirrel.  What very long tufts!

    Lots of Jays there today, GSW's been chasing them off.

  • Lovely stuff Scylla and yes to female chaffinch Hugging  Lucky enough to have a couple of male BB's in the garden feeding on Ivy berries but can't get a good pic as they are chasing each other all over the shop!

  • As you may know, the Starr Ranch (SoCal) cavity (created when a bough fell out of a eucalyptus tree) was invaded by honeybees a year or so ago.  The Barn Owls who habitually breed there have given up checking it and must have found somewhere else - but the mice, it appears, are undaunted.

    Faulty cam, filthy lens, but we try:

    Mojave Woodrats - they look a sociable lot!  Loads of them have lately replaced the Kangaroo Rats that came at night:

    Glaslyn was under water yesterday:

    I've just finished a Glaslyn owl vid that's turned out too boring to post, but I've got a very nice Stork vid lined up for next session, whenever that is.

  • Nice views of Great Egret, Scylla. (Now let's see where this reply ends up!)

  • In the right place Jill!

    Many thanks Scylla for soldiering on and bringing us more interesting updates!

  • Thanks Scylla, I’m struggling with seeing the newest posts now. Just letting you know I’m appreciating your contributions despite the system’s efforts to discourage me. Kissing heart
