On this blog I'll be giving regular updates of what 'Wildplaces' activity is going on in the Tees Valley. I'll also be adding photos and videos of local wildlife which have been taken recently by myself and by memebers of the public who have volunteered to set up or monitor some of our cameras. The images that are captured are used to help promote the area and raise public awareness of the diversity of wildlife that can be found locally.
When I'm out and about during the course of my work, people often remark to me that the beck valleys in Middlesbrough support little or no wildlife. At times I've received some very disbelieving looks when I tell people what animals I've seen here, so back in September I decided to set up one of our static cameras along one of the local becks, to try and capture footage of some of the animals which I knew were here. I carefully chose a spot to position the camera facing the hollow base of a mature Willow tree growing right on the beck side.
After a week, I returned to collect the camera and check what, if anything, it had recorded. Watch the video and see for yourselves....
