There's been a lot happening on the Wildplaces front in the Tees Valley over the last few weeks. One of the highlights being the result of a telephone call from a lady who thought she might have seen a Water Vole in the small stream at the bottom of her garden. Unfortunately a good check of the banks revealed no evidence of Water Voles, but the lady did say that she regularly had Foxes, Badgers and Roe Deer coming right up to her patio. She said she'd happily let me set up a camera there, and sure enough it captured images of a family of Foxes, and Badgers chomping on the scraps she put out for them, and Deer helping themselves to her Roses! The footage is very good, and I'll upload some of the highlights very soon.
As well as continuing to collect lots of footage of urban mammals we've had a camera on the Swallows that have nested at our office for the past few years. Here's a video of their progress from just after hatching through to fledging.
