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

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

spookwoman

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

what detector do you have Spookwoman?

spookwoman

Magenta bat detector 5

MeteoritesEire

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

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

spookwoman

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

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

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

whyulittle

I wouldn't be disappointed with a Stoat!

its a stoat.

MeteoritesEire

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

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

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

MeteoritesEire

would rather hear the wind too LOL

here's another thats not mine but rather cool

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

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

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.
