    Oh, Nice one Gzoladz. Cracking catch on your camera. I have a pair courting in the trees in my garden. The male bringing her food, he uses my garden as a McDonalds, and her making a chirruping noise to bring him in. They will be nesting in the forestry about 1km away.

    I have been searching for their plucking post for a couple of years now so I can camera trap it but no luck so far.

    Thanks TT, I was lucky enough to get amazing views...I only saw the female today in the morning, very busy nest building. No sign of any of them in the afternoon.

    Saw this yesterday thought it was funny. They were back today.

    It seems to be a mammy blackbird feeding a baby blackbird in my garden. The baby is just as big :D

    At one point the baby kept dropping a bit and the Mother kept putting it back in it's mouth. I haven't seen this before and thought once they were fledged, they look after themselves?

    Unless I'm wrong and it's a henpecked husband, but the feeder was brown and the feedee was a lighter speckled brown.

    Teenage Bird: "Maaaaaam!!! Make me a sammich!"
    Mammy Bird: "Make it yourself, you're old enough!"
    Teenage Bird: "But MAAAAAAAAAM!!!"
    Mammy Bird: "I said no. I made you a perfectly good pair of hands, use them!"
    Teenage Bird: "But MAAAAAAAAAM!!! I can't make them as good as yours... Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!!!!!"
    Teenage Bird: "Ah, here! Give me strength!! But this is the very last time, do you hear me?"

    I can never figure out how to post videos! What am I doing wrong I wonder? My link is https://youtu.be/JnLhevOrb7E which I put between the YouTube brackets?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 798 ✭✭✭Tiercel Dave


    There's a link for Youtubes, you just wrap it 'round your video.....



  • Posts: 879 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Thanks tiercel Dave I tried to post between ? Maybe it’s my YouTube channel settings, I have it as unlisted?

    You only need to put the bit after the last slash between the [ YOUTUBE ][/ YOUTUBE ] tags. So in your case, JnLhevOrb7E

    Very happy to see two foxes on the first night after installing a trail cam here in Kerry. Had seen fox scat and think we have had badger come through also . Have only ever seen a fox a couple of times in daylight in the garden down through the years and once in the next field but suspected they were regular visitors to the ponds.

    Happy camper!
