Hi everyone<\/p>\n
In my last post I talked about my trail camera and how I set it up near a Badger set well turns out it might be abandoned but we got a couple of videos \u00a0of a rare duck called a Shelduck. Shelducks lay their eggs in burrows in the ground. We got some footage of one just checking if the old badger set was safe to lay it’s eggs in! cool right.<\/p>\n
here is the video\u00a0IMAG0025<\/a><\/p>\n We checked on RSPB.ORG UK and Shelducks are on the amber conservation [list which means their numbers are in decline but they are not yet at the highest risk of extinction] so we’re lucky to see one! especially as they normally live on mudflats and estates and we were up a big hill in a wood near Terregeles!<\/p>\n Here is more information about Shelducks and they have a very funny call which you can hear on this link\u00a0https:\/\/www.rspb.org.uk\/birds-and-wildlife\/wildlife-guides\/bird-a-z\/shelduck\/<\/a><\/p>\n We are now brainstorming ideas about where else we could place the camera…id like to find a badger, fox or deer. each time we have taken the camera up to this badger set we have seen some Roe dear near by.<\/p>\n See ya<\/p>\n Joe<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi everyone In my last post I talked about my trail camera and how I set it up near a Badger set well turns out it might be abandoned but we got a couple of videos \u00a0of a rare duck called a Shelduck.
