Our friendly neighbourhood fox passes just under our bedroom window almost every night.
Taken with a @naturespy.bsky.social Ursus solar-powered ☀️ #cameratrap, which has been successfully powering itself across Dutch forests and Mongolia deserts recently. Goodbye battery changes! 👋

Voley McVoleface was up bright and early this morning. Proceeded to have a tasty breakfast of mouldy seed husk.
If his diet continues to be this terrible, I may have to share my walnuts.
