Robert,I too am interested in finding the right kit to film my bird boxes

Hi strongy, what beautiful photos, you must have had a smashing walk & come home refreshed after seeing all that wildlife.. :thumb: Thanks for sharing..!:thumb:

We are lucky enough to have three goldfinches visiting the nijer seed feeder in our garden, put the feeder out 18 mths ago and had nothing other than rotting seed for about a year that changed about December time when two became regular visitors and now there are three. See them as early as 5 am...

Awww the babies in the bucket ,absolutely gorgeous .

They sleep and mate on the wing, a newly fledged Swift will not land for at least a year that includes the (non BA) flight to sub Sahara and back! They also mate and sleep on the wing. The only bird that can catch them is the Hobby. An incredible bird, a great shame they are declinig rapidly in...

Hi sq, We had a bird down our chimney a few years ago and I called the RSPB, who then (even though the gas fire wasn't connected) made us get in touch with the gas company. After a little while the gas man(!!) got the bird, which was still alive and released it. Apparently., if the bird was...

I dont mind squirrels eating my bird food tbh.

What fantastic photos Cookie, it's good to see you back on here. I do wish you luck in your new career not that you need it with skills like that :thumb:

just looked in my pond and i have tiny tadpoles. spawn was only laid 2 week ago. i've never known it develop that quick before but i guess it's because it was laid so late, about 3 weeks later than usual.what happens if we get really cold nights now? will it survive?

Oh yes... just before sunrise when its still dark.. hundreds of them some days.

Our regular visiting pair arrived a few days ago (OK .. I don't know if it is the same pair or one of the young from last year back with a new mate) But it is good to see we haven't been ignored Last year the young came back to stay with us until they learned to fly Be interesting to see if...

Frogs on the go here too with frogspawn in quite a few places Mojo ... your pics are excellent .... well done
