An unexpected surprise

 This time we put the camera trap in a spot which we often put it in. It is a great spot as it is sheltered from the wind and rain and there's plenty of wildlife there. However we put it there a week ago and caught nothing. The camera even came up with a screen saying no image. So we put in the same spot again and hoped for the best. And we got what I think is the best  group of animals we have ever had in the woods next to our house. When we turned it on and went through all the different animals, we started off with the usual pigeon and squirrels.

The squirrel was dancing.

We also got a nice picture of a thrush aswell which was something we don't usually have.

Then the next couple of photos was of an animal we had never seen in the woods before. And this animal was one we would have never even have guessed we would get on the camera trap. We had got footage of roe deer!

We think we got a little herd on the camera trap. I have no iDEER where they came from.

Before the deer though we also got a fox.

After the deer we got a great video and picture of a pheasant.

After that we got ANOTHER picture of a fox!

Next  just to make our day, a snuffling badger came along!

And finally...

a bumble bee.

Wildlife Footage

 Welcome to wildlife footage! This post shows some great footage we have had recently!

That photo there was of a speedy fox. Maybe it was hunting? Who knows?

This here is a badger sniffing its way around the wood at night. The video below is of a badger slowly making its way through the wood as well. Well I say slowly, It was actually going pretty quickly!

Lastly we got a rabbit jumping past, which is something we don't often get.

Fox's Face and Brilliant Badger

 Here is a photo of a fox. We only got the fox's face but it is better than nothing.

Here is a Brilliant badger!

Badger Burrow

 In April, we went to see some badgers. We had food, drink, warm clothes, the camera and binoculars. The only thing is the badgers were very far away. On the other side of the hill no less. So this post shows what the badgers are up to when we aren't looking!

It has been a while since I have posted so here is some stuff we missed!

This here is a baby badger emerging from the set.

Here is some more footage of a badgers.

Wildlife spotting

 Today instead of putting out the camera trap I decided to see some of the animals for myself. Me and my Dad found some badger sets and got comfy. However, the first thing we saw was not a badger. After half an hour of waiting and seeing nothing we finally saw a fox upon the edge of the woods where we normally put out the camera trap. The fox was hard to make out but we could just about see it.

After about five minutes we spotted another fox which came a lot closer to us but still no badgers. 

Finally we saw not one, but two badgers!

 

Pictures from late February.

For this set of camera trap pictures we put out some seed and some raw chicken which the fox gobbled up.
