Found this trapped inside a wine bottle at the bottom of a stream a few weeks ago...

Video is just after cracking the bottle open...I wonder how many weeks / months / years he/she was inside...

Recording of bats on bat detector around the house last night

MeteoritesEire · 30-07-2013 01:59PM

excellent--I love crouching outside and having the bats fly right over me, around me---off to investigate bat detectors, thx

spookwoman · 31-07-2013 02:44AM

Will get some more done and get it narrowed down to the types. Heard the Leisler's Bat tonight one of the loudest and very distinctive long clicks. I see them flying around most night and have been curious to know what they are.

Common and Soprano Pipistrelles by the sounds of it recorded 45 and 55 kHz

MeteoritesEire · 03-08-2013 09:31AM

what detector do you have Spookwoman?

spookwoman · 03-08-2013 03:50PM

Magenta bat detector 5

MeteoritesEire · 08-08-2013 05:12PM

taken out my front window earlier--something grabbing a finch--only chaffies and greenies there.Likely sparrowhawk? Merlin?
8 seconds slowed down to 1/4 time

first ever STOAT sighting out the front there now.He was jumping up at the magpies and pigeons (didn't catch that on vid tho) .
Video slowed half speed.Checked thru binoculars, white breast and dark tail, definitely not mink

MeteoritesEire great video. You could loose hours watching them. Used to have mink living in the old dry stone wall at the old house. the wall was 20 feet from the patio doors and they were not bothered by us. I remember when they had young it was great to watch them play.

I think it looks more like a stoat.

whyulittle · 13-09-2013 02:35PM

Would look even more so if the video was played at normal speed I think.

spookwoman · 13-09-2013 02:37PM

Stoat i think as well reddish coat, white chest and black tip on tail. 30cm length
Pine marten seem darker and 45cm length

I thougt the same though I am on a phone, magpies looked huge compared to it.

MeteoritesEire · 13-09-2013 04:43PM

you are likely all correct.I thought the stoat had much more white all down its' front but they do have just the white breast plate at some stage of development or randomly.Size does seem to give it away, this was quite small

Zoo4m8 · 13-09-2013 07:12PM

Stoat it is I'm afraid, absolutely typical behaviour as well !

whyulittle · 13-09-2013 07:58PM

I wouldn't be disappointed with a Stoat!

its a stoat.

MeteoritesEire · 13-09-2013 09:49PM

LOL-I've changed the name of it---we are all in aGREEMENT , it's a stoat.I was and still am thrilled to have seen it.Never seen one before and he (or she) was giving the birds a bit of excitement jumping around trying to catch them and then scurrying away from them as well.
great fun

I'd be delighted as well no matter stoat mink etc. They are not something you see often and seeing them in action is a real treat

MeteoritesEire · 13-09-2013 10:31PM

in regular speed
I slowed it down originally cuz the little fella was moving so quickly.
Shame I couldn't have got closer

Seeing it in full speed just shows just how much character they have. Fiesty little buggers

Starlings bathing at seafront in Greystones.
Had to add some music to get rid of the wind noise.

Lovely video,but I would rather hear the wind,sorry but music on natures videos don't impress me,well done and thanks.

MeteoritesEire · 23-10-2013 11:22AM

would rather hear the wind too LOL

here's another thats not mine but rather cool

cscook · 24-10-2013 06:16PM

There's wind and then there's WIND! Normally, in fact, I wouldn't add music, but I hadn't thought to turn the mic down before recording, and with half my RAM dead

, video editing to reduce the volume wasn't an option .

spookwoman · 16-11-2013 01:34AM

Didn't realise I had video's this until I got home reason why it keeps changing picture is I was changing the settings on the camera trying to get a decent shot. Better than nothing

V_Moth · 19-11-2013 06:57PM

GreyEagle · 02-12-2013 06:28PM

I got an SVC200 cam for the bike. I thought it might be fun to try it out on the birds feeding in the garden. As it's very wide angle I set up just 24 cm from the fat ball and here is the result;

The cage is to keep the larger birds at bay.
