New cameras

I've just received some new, high definition cameras, so tonight I'm going to replace the one that's been filming the Otters, and hopefully I'll soon have some better quality images to show.
I've had a camera in this location for a month now and, with the exception of the few days that it stopped working, it's recorded Otter activity every night, and I've noticed that at least four different individuals have been visiting the spot.
I've put together a few more clips that I find interesting, including a daytime video of a Heron that's been showing up regularly.

Please feel free to post comments about the clips, ask questions, or to request video or photos of other wildlife.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, this time of year can be ideal for photographing birds in the garden. The cold spell has made it especially good, and I've been taking many pictures of several species.
Although I've not had any rarities, I have had these two birds with unusually shaped beaks visiting regularly. Both appear in reasonable condition, and neither seemed to have any difficulty in feeding.

Otter videos



Because there was a lot of Otter activity in this spot, I decided to set up a different camera and capture some videos. Even though it was over the xmas period, I was able to check the area daily, and found fresh evidence of Otters being here every day. Unfortunately though, the camera developed a problem, so I missed a lot of the action. I think you'll agree though that the footage it did get is pretty good.
