Friday at the Flicks - Hedgehogs, Great Tit

Apart from one night when no Hedgehog activity was spotted I normally have at least one tucking in to their favourite food - dried mealworms. There are usually several choices but they always head for the mealworms first.





For a while I have been trying to video some of the local birds while they have been singing but many things conspire against me. Not least being the camera spotting radar all birds have but I did manage to catch a Great Tit yesterday as it soaked up the Sunshine.



There was a bit more frog spawn yesterday morning and I did at least spot the frogs, unfortunately not in daylight when they seem to stay well hidden from view. I have only see them by torch light at night.

Have a great weekend observing the wildlife around you.

  1. Ah! So that's the one makes that noise. I'll learn one day. The hedgehogs are still as entertaining as ever.
    You'll have to put some LEDs over the pond.

  2. Lovely captured birdsong ~ always helpful to put a feathered face to the song. The hedgehogs are still snuffling and shuffling so that good to see.

  3. It really is Hedgehog heaven there John, they must think they have their own private banquet laid on every night :)

    Lovely to see and hear the Great Tit, I think when out on a walk that its song and that of the Robin and Blackbird are the ones I hear most, I don't so often actually see it singing though so enjoyed your video.

    Have a good weekend John.

  4. In fact, Adrian, the LEDs I use for the Hedgehogs are designed for use in ponds lol.

  6. Not quite Heaven, Jan, judging by tonight's activities.
    At the moment the Mistle Thrush is the most constant song here but I still haven't managed to see the little blighter, let alone film it.
