pauraqueIt's the season for goslings! This pair of Canada Geese I saw foraging at the side of a dirt road had five.

North American river otters
Feb. 19th, 2024 10:00 ampauraqueI took this video late last year of river otters at a small lake where I often walk. It was my first time seeing them in the wild!
Video description: Two otters swim along a frozen shore. One heaves itself up on the ice and eats a fish. Two others swim and dive in the background.

ice on Lake Champlain

Hedgehog has a scratch, falls over

[YouTube video, 00:19, infrared capture]
Figuring that our hedgehog was probably awake now, we started putting out the infrared motion-triggered camera every night to see if we could catch it rootling around under the bird feeder. We've seen it every night for a week now, but this was definitely a highlight. Poor Mr Snuffles has clearly got fleas.

Muntjac deer in IR

I took the motion-sensitive IR camera on our holiday trip to rural Norfolk, and it captured a couple of members of the feral muntjac deer population (which is quite large in that area) nosing about in the out-laws' garden. I like how the one in the video above is clearly having a squiz at the camera on its tripod!

I've been putting out our motion-sensitive IR camera again. The hedgehog appears to have gone into hibernation, probably in the big pile of garden waste at the bottom of our garden. In its place, however, we seem to have acquired a fox!
Hedgehog in IR
