Night of the Nuts

I had the bright idea of moving the nuts closer in to take advantage of the new high resolution camera (this after weeks of agonising over how to move the camera – doh!). To attract the animals to the new location, I made a trail of nuts from the bird feeding area where they are used to getting their food, to a new place by the shed.

On the first night, I succeeded beyond my wildest dreams – watch the video to get the whole story, but in three hours we had several badgers, a fox and a pine marten. I was particularly pleased about the marten because we haven’t seen him much this year and I was starting to think he had moved his territory.
