Actually, there's no sorrow in these videos. I decided to put the camera out on this green bin after I'd laid out the food. It went of 240 times! Pigeons, robins, dunnocks, blackbirds, starlings, great tits, squirrels and of course this handsome magpie.
There were so many videos that, who knows, I may have missed a treasure as I didn't even look at them all. Here is a short selection.
I think the robin is Original Bob and the tit is Black Crown.
Now for the sorrow.
I went to survey a badger sett and I found two dead juveniles.
They were in a patch of scrub in the middle of a field - a field where a runner told me she'd seen two dead hares a few weeks earlier and thought they'd been left by hare coursers.
These two have been here a long time. I think, given their size and the state of mummification, since autumn last year. I do not think they died naturally. They were on their backs, toe to toe. I alerted the county recorder and he has told the police - just for information. They can't establish a cause of death at this stage.
Finding them didn't even really shock me. It makes me think of how easy it is to condemn "what other country's do" to wildlife when we haven't sorted our own backyard.
We don't have magpies so I enjoy looking at the one who visits you. And that squirrel always seems to know she's being filmed :-D Such an abundance of well fed visitors. ... It's sad to see and hear about the unfortunates at the end of your post.
