Garden Wildlife UK

The year is flying by. Here are Novembers offerings.

Some interesting videos once again. Daylight Hogs, some very spotty Starlings and finally the mouse.
Thanks Willpar.

Thank you JS, my favourite if only briefly was the wren on the hanging feeder. Starlings are looking great. Yes the mouse shows up quite a bit but just save a few. A very young hedgehog again out in the day. And sadly the second one that never made it.

The last one of the year folks. Two new birds at the hanging feeder.

Thank you Willpar. Well up to your usual standard. Does the cat frighten the hogs away very often?

Thank you JS. That is the first time i have seen a cat do that. Cats do pass through the garden all day long. Am surprised the woodmice are doing well with all the cats around.

Here is the first new year video from the garden. Have been trying out the four ground cameras with +1 close up lenses, and using a higher quality video setting. Am quite pleased with the results so far. May need some tweaking in the near future. Is nice to see some extra detail.

Good for January. I thought the one Hog looked to be in trouble but it managed to regain it's feet. One of you female Blackbirds is very pretty. She has smokey grey hind quarters which merges into chestnut brown on her lower breast and then an almost thrushlike speckled bib.

Thank you JS. I thought may be the hedgehog was coming down the wall and lost its footing. Good capture though. I think that the blackbird you describe is the one i can get quite close to, and agree it is a very nice looking bird. I think i have two male and two female blackbirds that come into the garden. The wren was a nice surprise.

My garden wild life for February.
