Really lovely! Thanks debjay :-* Red squirrels, numerous coal tits and a pair of great spotted woodpeckers all in a couple of minutes!

Good link, I have been up there and saw some Crested tits up in the Trees.  We were there early morning  5 a.m. to see the Capercaillie. 

Thanks.

Awwww thats lovely debjay, thankyou so much.

What a pleasure and how funny to see the red squirrels and coal tits feeding off the nut feeder at the same time  ;D

When one of the squirrels had its head in the box, a cheeky coal tit flew under the squirrels belly and pinched a morsel of nut on the platform.    ;D

You won't find badgers and foxes on this one Jeannine as it focusses on feeders in trees!   I hope you are feeling better today.   :D

Post by: Jeannine on January 12, 2008, 11:12:36
Agh.. oh well I will have to start watching the other one, it would switch from trees to badgers and i thiught it was the same.

I almost feel good as new today, just very tired, so I think it is all behind me.

Thank you for your good wished XX Jeannine

The camera is working again.  I notice that there are two extra feeders in place now, probably because one on its own was not adequate for the many birds and squirrels that ate there.

Would have been better if they had put them in a row not one behind the other.

Jeannine if you want to see badgers & foxes together there are quite a few webcams in this site http://www.thewebbroadcastingcorporation.com/index.php

It's a bit hit & miss at times as they are not always working but when they are it is well worth a look.  Denbury Farm in Somerset have three webcams (the GSD photo and Denbury 1 & 2). In the summer months there have been as many as 15 badgers coming out to feed at one time, plus a couple of foxes.  Not so many at the moment as I think they hibernate.  The farmer there also has the two Astrocams. On clear nights recently he has been showing magnificent photos of the moon and saturn.
