I assume they’re good quality cameras?

There’s a tree next to it that will give a better view for the camera I think. I’ll need to put up some sort of platform/feeder as well. I’d put out raisins and peanut butter yesterday but unfortunately the badger found it and managed to get itself up.

Trying a similar set up. Put it together quickly yesterday to see if the marten would visit. It did so now need to set it up properly. Any suggestions?

Brilliant!

Both 1 and 4 were in deciduous woodland with lots of beech and birch. The first went faintly blue on the inside of the cap when cut. I thought maybe Xerocomellus chrysenteron.

There’s an apple above the feeder but it’s just ignoring it. Eggs, cranberries and raisins seem to be the winners with this one. Might be worth trying some dates….

Might give that a try as well.

The whole system of compensating land owners for loss due to raptors (and possibly Lynx in the future) needs to be stopped as well. Instead they should be given incentives to coexist. Celebrate living with these amazing animals rather than constantly focusing on what might go wrong.

The sooner grouse moors and shooting estates are confined to the history books the better. So sick of this. Even if they find the culprits there won’t be any real punishment. It needs to change.
