A few days ago I noticed the pump feeding the pond waterfall had slowed to a trickle so it was time to give the pump filter a good scrub out. Once I had done that and switched it back on the flow was back to normal. Glancing at the waterfall I could see two pond snails had taken advantage of the reduced flow to climb up and were feeding on the algae. When I started videoing one it was fighting a losing battle trying to stay in place against the now roaring torrent of water flowing past it:
As mentioned earlier I set up the Toshiba X-Sports camera next to the bird table and grabbed some video clips of a few of the regulars:
What a kerfuffle - YouTube didn't make any thumbnails for the bird table video so off I went a-googling. Eventually I found it is possible to upload ones own photo for a thumbnail but only after the channel has been verified. That is easy, just a question of getting a verification code either by automated voice or text message. Once done I uploaded a photo and all was well.
Have a great weekend observing the wildlife around you.
Bang on time today John and the quality is up to the new standard.
ReplyDeleteI bet the camera would work in the pond.
Adrian: I seem to remember it can be used down to depth of 60 feet though I don't think WiFi would work very well under water.
Deletesome happy birds you have.
ReplyDeleteTWG: Definitely hungry ones!
