Your day's wildlife

[Andy in Germany]

There was a buzzard circling outside the workshop window today.

I saw 4 Ravens way above our garden on Saturday . There seemed to be a bit of a get together as they parted and went off in different directions .

Yes, it seems to be a thing they do at this time of year. There were 6 here the other day, but then we are close to the black mountains.

There were 2 here again this morning . I think a pair have settled in the town near one of the churches .

Plenty this morning as there was a dead sheep.

Our visiting hogs will have some new food to try once they finish the packet of food that's already open.

I’ve had a wander up to Avon Dam on the southern edge of Dartmoor to see Ring Ouzel…

I have been watching a female Sparrowhawk that perched near the top of an ash tree at the bottom of our garden . She was there for a good half hour . Several Goldfinches flew over the tree and one perched there for a couple minutes before flying off . I don't know if it realized it's mistake . I assume that the Sparrowhawk eventually flew off as she isn't there now .

There was a bat out yesterday evening. Bit late in the year.

There was a bat out yesterday evening. Bit late in the year.

My trailcam recorded one on 27/10/22. Poor quality stills, but unmistakably a bat on video, swooping very low over lawn, maybe catching craneflies.

My new SquirrelBuster feeders are doing their job frustrating squirrels but feeding birds, which took to them remarkably quickly, particularly the seed feeder. Hoping for a woodpecker on the peanut feeder before long; they're currently a very infrequent visitor.
