Ivy on an oak tree
Woody vines are not just in wild jungles, the humble ivy is our native version. Ivy doesn’t damage trees, but grows with them, providing excellent year-round shelter and nesting sites. Its late season flowers provide vital autumn food for bees and other insects, and the black berries feed birds in winter.
Fox visiting
This fox was only seen a few times near the badger sett. Occasionally, a fox may share the sett with badgers. At hub 2, the fox was the headliner at our trail camera.
Mouse washing itself.
This little mouse was seen regularly on the camera trap videos.
Black bird male.
The same location was also visited by this male black bird. You can easily tell the male and female apart, as the male is black with a bright orange beak and he female is brown for better camouflage.
Robin
This little robin was seen regularly foraging around in the leaves.
