SuomiWell, this is a bit of a short report! We have been moving the outside camera around, but have not got a lot to report - so, other than excellent shots of cats and a certain dog, we have just caught on cameras a couple of creatures:
We're not quite sure what these animals are - and have had various 'verdicts': a deer, badger, fox....? We are still experimenting with setting the Bushnell camera correctly but hope to be capturing rather more animals in a few weeks time. This will be more likely with the three additional cameras being sent over from the UK by Simon Roper of Ambios - an excellent addition ... thank you, Simon!
We have still not had any nesting birds in our 'camera birdbox' - but the virginia creeper is now growing all around the box, providing more shelter and security, so perhaps something will happen soon. Otherwise we do have plenty of bird activity - the swallows and house martins have arrived and are nesting in the barns and under the eaves of the house (including on top of the sound system's speakers at the back of the house!), and swooping and skimming the surface of the pond and swimming pool. And the hoopoes have arrived - flying along the lines of the hedges, with their undulating flight .... and then parading on the newly cut meadow, pecking and pulling at the turf - not easy to photograph without some good long-lens camera ... but we'll have a go and post what we manage to capture.
