on saturday i collected two trail cameras in an area where we recently lost two cameras to *****poachers (presumably because that particularly model of camera had a green LED come on at night when activated), on the way back i encountered 3snakes engaged in what i presume was a mating ritual. yesterday we checked the memory cards: 1ocelot, a family of coatis, a northern tamandua and a paca (?) sticking it's nose into the camera -- fortunately no more evidence of poachers
Two woodpeckers, and a fox running through my front garden at 2 in the afternoon.
A woodpecker visited the bird feeding station this morning. I knew there was one about- heard it quite a few times- but this is the first time we've seen it.

Yesterday: Three Roe Deer,1 Buck, 2 Does. A group of around 10 Teal. A fantastic flush of Golden Plover. A Tawney Owl that seemed fascinated by me! Numerous Buzzards and the amazing sight of a Goshawk hawking the ground.
White Stork in a field in Montgomeryshire!
It's not from Knepp as it's not ringed. It's been in the same field for a couple of weeks now.

Thousands of cranes flew over all day today, heading north.........reckon they're impatient to reach their summer grounds. It was a beautiful day though. You hear them long before you see them
Frogspawn, first of the year seen today. Looks nice and fresh.
It was in a small pool up at 670m (2,200 ft) in the Brecon Beacons National Park this morning. I've not seen any yet at lower levels to date this year. (Perhaps the valleys are still too wet for the frogs?)

Seeing a few butterflies out now. A brimstone and a peacock today. Also got eyes on a stoat this morning.
The only picture I took today was of this little jumper.

Been giving these two a dew oats each day. Day one involved a great deal of hissing and bluster from Mr Swan, coming out of the water wings out.
But day 3 today, they're ignoring the dog, and both coming out to eat out of my hand, and try to pull my fingers off.
