2012 Notes
Four days of frosty weather!! -5c here last night.
Preceding the frost I was delighted to see 10 teal take off the water when I walked past our largest pond, and 6 mallard duck take off the next pond.
With recent rainfall the pond now has around a foot of water in it . (4 feet to go to the overflow)
The badgers have been changing their bedding over the past week apart from climbing their “skyway” in their search for peanuts.
At the start of the frosty weather I left a little grain out to keep whatever wildlife that found it going, I also put my stealth camera so that it looked over the area for a period of 48 hours during that time a blackbird 2 jays, several moorhens, a crow, a cock pheasant, a Pidgeon two unidentified birds which I think were chaffinches, two rabbits, two hares, a fox and a badger either visited the grain or passed close by setting my camera off 40 times.
I have posted two of the videos below
