Deer not sharing......

I guess if a deer doesn't want to share, it just kicks the other one out of the way. And it just wandered off!

Owl box - or Squirrel Box?

We put up an owl box - in the hopes of attracting an owl - but the squirrels own it!!! (It did have bees during the Summer.) No owl!!

Reluctant raccoon and late fox

This raccoon was very reluctant to come out in the rain - and the fox arrived far too late to get any food.

Coyote scared by a rabbit.

The coyote came wandering in. The rabbit stayed totally still until the coyote just got too close - then it bounded away. A coyote is always very nervous when it comes in and it was totally shocked by the rabbit moving. The rabbit got away!

Early raccoons and a one eyed possum!

The two raccoons were out early. Later this possum came through. When we are filming in infra-red, the eyes always glow - as they have a hot blood supply. This possum only has that glow in one eye - which means that it only has one eye that works!!!

Raccoons, fox and an unknown dog!

The raccoons scattered when the "eyes" appeared, but the fox just ran past. There's still a raccoon living under the shed - that needed to see what was going on! We had a young raccoon pay a morning visit - but he left before the unknown dog ran through.
