rambles with a camcorder

Saturday, 5 July 2014

This is a longer clip of the juvenile Great Spotted Woodpecker visiting my garden.

A daily visitor for about six weeks ... unfortunately it's not been for a while.

A juvenile Blue Tit on one of the garden feeders... really enjoying the peanuts.

Lovely little acrobats to watch.

Wild Bird Wednesday

I had a wonderful fifteen minutes watching and filming this juvenile GSW on my peanut feeder.

It's been in and out of the garden for a couple of weeks.

I set up the camcorder on a tripod at around 5.30am and left it running.

An hour later I had captured about ten minutes of usable video... well worth getting up early for.

I captured this Jackdaw feeding on the suet balls... it was the first time I had seen one hanging off this feeder.

Jackdaws have a reputation for inquisitiveness and opportunism.

This feeder is six foot off the ground... he climbed up my fence... and jumped.

Male Bullfinch on my garden feeder... it was only the 5th I have seen one in my garden in nine years.
