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!

  1. Love the deer! The owl is cool. I wait every winter for the return of a snowy owl to my area (Tara ON Canada). I'll send a photo to your dad.
