I found a Hedgehog, killed by a car, just across the road from my house the other morning. I was concerned that this might be one of the hogs from my garden so I set up the trail camera to check what was going on. When I checked the footage this morning I was pleased to find not just one, but two hogs taking advantage of the meal worms I had put out on the lawn.
You might also spot some extra eye shine in the first clip. I think this is a Wood Mouse taking advantage of the fallen seeds from the bird feeders. I need to move the camera closer to confirm this.

Trophy Cam bags another new species for the site
This undisclosed site in Bedfordshire is really proving to be a great wildlife spot. This week a Roe Deer passed through:
Not much Badger activity recorded this week because the batteries ran out in the camera. There was one Badger about on the first night but no digging or interaction. I have re positioned the camera this week. It still overlooks the same area but it is a little further back and a little higher in a tree. Hoping to get a better overview of any activity, a bit like Stephen Plummer has here.

Badger activity over the past 2 weeks
I had a marathon session yesterday afternoon going through 2 weeks of trail cam footage from the Badger sett. I usually change the card each week but didn't get up there last weekend, I'll try not to miss a week again as I had 350 clips to go through. This was a bit surprising as there have only been just over 100 clips each week recently, but there was more Rabbit activity around the sett these last 2 weeks with a couple of young rabbits showing up regularly. There was also a really busy sett maintenance night on the 28/04 when the Badgers were busy digging out the main holes around the sett. This activity racked up 44, 30 second, clips in just under an hour. Here a couple of clips from that batch:
Still haven't seen more than 3 badgers at any one time and still no cubs :-(
The following clip captured a male Tawny Owl calling. I have increased the volume of the soundtrack but you may still need to increase the volume on your PC to hear it:
Don't forget to turn your PC volume back down again ;-)
