The Animal I Wanted the Most

 This week we have had a great selection of animals. It wasn't your usual badgers of foxes, (although we did catch a fox's ear) in fact it was something that I wanted the most that we had never caught. And to top things off, we caught an amazing video of a roe deer! I shall save the best until last so we'll start with a squirrel.

Next up we have a fantastic roe deer video and picture. If you remember we got a herd of deer last spring. I thought they were just passing through but perhaps not if we got one in the winter. This one wasn't in a herd though so unless the rest of the herd were behind the camera I don't know where they were.



We got a video of a fox's ear as well. It's not a great video though.


And now the best video and picture of this week (and of this year and in my top 5 of all time) the animal  I wanted to catch the most... a Tawny Owl. I have wanted to catch one for so long and here is one perched on a branch at 1 o'clock in the morning.



If you look in the top left corner you can see the shape of a tawny owl.
And that is all we have caught on the camera trap this week. In the next couple of days I will make a post on two buzzards me and my dad managed to film. Anyway that's all for now, so bye!

Badger Banger

 This week we have an absolute badger banger. We got so much footage of badgers and other creatures.

So here is a brilliant set of photos! 


I love it when the badger comes right up and sniffs the camera! Here's another video.


On the night of the day we put it out, we also caught a fox. In fact we got plenty of foxes - don't worry though, I'm not done with the badgers yet :).





On Monday we got a pheasant which is something we don't often catch. You can tell it's a male as they have much more brighter colours compared to the brown, dull females.

Now we have even more badgers.

This one was going back and forth.


Here you get a good view of it's bum.


This one was foraging.


And this is an excellent video.


Speedy badger


On Saturday morning we got another badger!
Now some photos


More foxes


Squirrel


And that's the best of the wildlife we caught this week.
We have recently got 3,000 views on the blog so I will do a special post soon showing some of the best footage we have got. But that's everything now, so goodbye!
