I was speaking to Peter at Indian River Bay Delaware last evening about his Osprey webcam. The Ospreys laid there eggs but they did not hatch this year. He is not sure why. I didn’t realise until last evening that along the stretch of the River where Peter lives there are at least fifteen Osprey nests. I am sending out a new PTZ camera this week so that we can see the other wildlife on the River through the Winter.
As a few of you mentioned on the Forum yesterday about the Bird on the post yesterday morning. It was a Buzzard hunting in the Valley. I should think that it was an adult. With the weather as it has been for the past few weeks, we have been unable to cut the grass to make our hay, so it is standing very tall. Every time the Buzzard went down into the grass after its prey it was coming back to the post with clumps of grass.
A Tawney Owl was on the Horse jump at the Badger feeding area last night. It was there for a long time. A rat walked right below the Owl. Although it was watching the rat it didn’t try to catch it.
I managed to find the time to put a webcam on another Swallows nest today. It is a different nest with different adults. The nest had eggs in it whilst the first Swallow were still in their nest. There are two other nests in the building that the nest are in. One with older chicks and the other with eggs. I have taken the the camera from the Dove nest. As soon as there are no Swallows nesting I will show the whole of a Dove nesting from the start when the eggs are first laid.
