While Smiley Vixen lives it up in her new den, the area sure is never dull. Recently, an unidentified animal made a harrowing distress call that rang through the part of the forest like a horror movie

After successfully defending her den from an aggressive intruder, Smiley Vixen (Vulpes Vulpes) is living it up in her new home. My trail camera captures her going in and out, and as always, whatever the

Not too long after the Smiley Vixen made her new home beside the sett of the injured badger, she was attacked by an intruding Red Fox (Vulpes Vulpes). The intruder was larger and stronger than her, but

Even though Spring is already in full spring according to the calendar, the weather is still more reminiscent of winter. On a slightly warmer night, we however got some rain and as I went for a walk through

After several weeks of the futile efforts to save the life of the injured badger, I was taken by surprise when I noticed that there’s a set of new and fresh holes just a short walk up the hill from the

The unexplained saga surrounding the newly appeared holes near the sett of the injured badger remains a mystery. The trail cam footage recorded so far hasn't shed much light on who built the new den to

Latest footage from my trail camera at the upper scratchpost shows a family of wild boars who showed up to scratch their furs. The matriarch is injured a limps on her from leg. The background music is

I was able to fix the trail camera which died after two weeks of use. The cam was at one of two scratchposts I actively monitor. In this video, I made the decision to name each scratchpost, so I don’t

This is the other scratchpost where I have an active trail camera. Unfortunately, upon installing this camera, I realized it does not adjust the intensity of the IR light. Other, equally cheap cameras

The trail camera at the animal scratchpost had been capturing the wildlife every night. The spot was frequented by all manner of wild animals, from foxes, through roe deer and red deer all the way to the

There is a location in the woods where I live where animals go to rub their itchy furs against trees. I have a trail camera set up there to record how they use the scratchpost. Years of scratching left

I have a Tawny Owl (Strix Aluco) in my woods. She's very elusive and her flight is so quiet, she could fly overhead and you'd never notice. But she's also very territorial so on my daily strolls through
