A bit of Nelson in the rain...

How ironic...

...that given what I said in the last post about him returning every night, nelson didn't return last night. Well he may have done, WildCam's Cammy senses were tingling but I didn't actually get any shots of him...


Oh well, now mousey video as promised...

...and I thought I may as well post the really blurry video of nelson taken from the other day in case anyone is interested...

I think perhaps tonight I will move the camera back to the compost heap. I have a feeling that's going to be a better place for it to be in this weather.

Testing testing...

For Christmas, courtesy of the man, I got a long awaited infrared wildlife camera. Drunk with excitement, by boxing day I was scaling the garden desperately searching for somewhere that would be both convenient for me to access and well placed to get some good wildlife shots. To be honest with you I was half expecting to get nothing but a few birds and our cats nightly adventures for some weeks to come but low and behold a Christmas miracle.

Day 2 of WildCams life, he was sitting quite contently strapped to a tree down by our compost heap, about an acre away from the house (yeah, I’m a English country mouse, i use acres, mostly because i have no idea what it is in meters...somewhere between 70 and 100 I would think) and who should come walking by....Foxy Woxy!

Behold!

Much later the same day, WildCam caught a strange puddy cat wondering through our puddy cats territory...

Though unfortunately all WildCam got today was a very greedy magpie, and the wind blowing through the trees. Oh well. It's all hit and miss as the man says. All terribly exciting for someone who hasn't been out the house in 13 days though...
