Thank you ILR.
They were amusing to watch, a pair of juvenile magpies drinking in synch with each other. Nature ain't 'alf fascinating....

Thank you.
It was a grab the camera and shoot away job, and the light wasn't exactly favourable, however, the wee fella while unsure, carried on. I've yet to upload some nighttime video caught on the trailcam.
Pretty sure these are a pair of Reed Warblers,.Sighted by the canal in Worcester, I've been enjoying the antics of the many warblers over the spring and summer. These two are very young and sweet
It's taken a while, with lots of photos and video to sift through, plus other daily chores (and I wrongly thought retirement would give me more free time), but here's the first video of a fox cub exploring our garden, uploaded to my Flickr pages, captured from the trailcam around the same time as my photos.

There are more to sift through, lots more.
I'll be continuing this short series of photos and videos following the fox cubs that visit our garden on a dedicated thread: "A wee series of photos that will melt many hearts..." for those who want to follow.

I haven't seen a stoat in real life before (only on T.V.) and assumed this one was a young one by its look and demeanour. Really inquisitive, and kept dancing about until finally, I managed to take a photo in focus

A brilliant photo Kevin.
Stoats can be very elusive, and even when you see one, the dart past so fast, before you've turned to pick up your camera, they're gone.
