Your day's wildlife

[Poacher]

First Blackcap of the winter, feasting on sunflower hearts. Dreary weather, probably affecting picture quality; well, that's my excuse!
First pic alongside (European) Goldfinch for comparison.

Definitely a Yeti. They're also known as Bigfoot, but suspect these are the young offspring having a little dance around.
Not sure what they eat - put out some leftovers and see if they come back.

well the night camera didn't record any activity, so we'll never know

just out foxed a cat

Strange goings-on last night. Two foxes showing unusual degree of affection, mutual grooming etc.

Then for some unidentified reason, it all went wrong.

High-speed chase caught on another camera. Note the pursued fox's ears laid back!

Six minutes later, one returned, unable to put weight on its right hind leg, poor thing.
What happened, bite in a fight, hit by car (unlikely), trod on thorn or broken glass?

Why are buzzards so camera shy , 3 spotted on this morning's ride all sat there looking majestic upon fence posts soon as I slow down to reach for my phone off they fly

Male blackcap here on the feeder today. Our bird book suggests they aren't too common in the North of England during the winter.

Just sat and watched a pr of great tits arrive at our bird table they both flew in together from a big cherry tree in a neighbouring garden as per normal one works it's way through the pyracantha bush to feed off the seed tray at ground level before going back into the bush , whilst the other one just flits around the pyracantha bush pecking away at I presume bugs and the red berries.
They seem to do this on a regular basis throughout the day and each time they return to the big cherry tree and then it starts all over again.
