Live Webcam

Butterflies in our garden 9th August 2008

On 27th May 2007 I heard a commotion coming from the bird table in front of the webcam. When I went into the conservatory I found out the reason, a sparrowhawk had tried to get one of the birds feeding and had ended up in the conservatory. It nearly knocked itself out trying to escape but managed to find theopen door eventually, not before I managed to take just one shot!

Here is some archive footage for when the live webcam isnt working!

Wrens nesting in roosting pockets bought from us. Video used by kind permission of Ron from Rons Wildlife Products.

The highlights of the summer were 2 days spent bird ringing with Geoff Sheppard, our local bird ringer and secretary of the West Galloway SOC (Scottish Ornithological Club). Geoff had ringed about 200 barn owl chicks in this area by the end of the summer. Most had fledged from nest boxes made and put up by him with the support from local farmers. He is one of our unsung local wildlife heroes. In celebration of his efforts I have made a short film from the pictures taken when we had the privilege of joining him on 2 trips this year. The film also shows the ringing of 6 kestrel chicks.
