lol, wanted to eat it

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature a risky supper I suspect. :/

@@mythtree6348 they do rpedate martens tho not sure how often they do catch them

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature It's that parma violet taste maybe :)

@@mythtree6348 oh that brings back memories lol

it does now you mention it, though i still love your eerie bob cat screams lol

The moss is in an abundance in the forest here :)

sadly i didnt know it was around until an hr after it started. I had my cameras set to 20 sec exposure and 3200 iso. f2.8. Cameras pointing north too so wouldnt have caught it anyways unless i knew it was there at the time to change camera direction which is classic lol

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature you did well tho. It's a nice clip.

one gonna kick off tonight but its cloudy this end

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature So it is !, just started . might try the camera :) That Steve think is very spooky.

@@mythtree6348 oh good luck hun and i can imagine :) gutted i missed it tho

we use hawk to determine a few birds even buzzards are hawks, sparrowhawks, kestrels, harriers etc. Hawks a collective term in the UK

Just got to this, im still catchiing up after days off :). Sadly the best fossils are on the other side of the river but it was too deep and fast flowing for me to get Wolfy over it.

they do love to snot the cameras lol

was a flop for me really, first part of night was covered in cloud, then i got an hour of clearing which i put cam out again, then it rained on the camera even tho no rain was forecast !!, give up at 12.30ish and then it kicked off after that, but prob still cloudy, I didnt even get to see the moon come up lol , supposed to be here again tonight but raining now here

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature You tried hard tho :) . Orange moon over the Cuillin reflected in the sea was very special tho. Nice to have a break in the cloud for once.

@@mythtree6348 oh i do love when it first comes up and has the atmospheric colours, did you get a photo? lol we def were due a break in the weather

one thing the buzzards are great at its posing lol

You know the saying everything tastes like chicken? well chicken was actually on menu lol. The Gulls also get fresh white fish fillets and love sugar free peanut butter

My mum Fox is back to regular nightly visits but i think shes moved her cubs further away and grounded them cos they kept beating her to the goodies. Still have videos to process but not seen them for a while but im sure there just grounded lol

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature do you remember that film/book 'gone to ground' ? best place for them :)

They often get confused with an eagle when in flight, but they are smaller and classed as a Hawk :)

Hes doing well to avoid the hunters :)

​@@AzureOceans_Skye_NaturePowodzenia!!!

I did i cant help myself lol

They are pretty amazing bird although surprised it ate the slug when theres lots of rodents and worms around. I love hearing two of them talk to each other across the forest on a night time :)

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature Well thank you for your reply we appreciate it God bless you 🙏✝️🗡🛡🥀🕊🦅👑🦁🐏🤴🐑🌅🍞❤⭐👍💧🔥☁️🎼🫂✡ John 3:16

@@gretchenchadwick8343 my pleasure :) xx

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature Well thanks again!

Thankyou :) They do have a very eerie scream and noises, great in the pitch black night and you cant see anything lol. You should check out the Little Minx Fox Cub videos had such a character and a little sod lol, All grown up now and gone off into the wilderness on its own :)

aww they found you then lol. Could be an Aurora tonight tho likely past my bed time which is usual :)

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature big aurora last evening and much of the day but the cloud and rain was too much to see through. Will watch again tonight tho :) .

lol thats cute, i found all the midges btw !! they were all up at kilmaluig yesterday Even in the breeze they managed to swarm, Had to abandon ship from sitting on the rocks it was such a massive swarm. Poor Wolfy was covered in thousands of black dots and i dont know how many i managed to swallow before escaping lol

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature euw. the taste of swallowed midgies. yuuuuk. Oddly I've still none and not even a single insect at all today, literally nothing. I'm starting to hope 'ive got some clothes moths left somewhere.

@@mythtree6348 im seeing a lot more insects than last year on the field, which is a good sign.Seeing Bees, Butterflies and Dragon Flies, its starting to warm so we will hopefully see more, just need the rain and winds to go away then can finally get out on the boat. Was gutted i missed the Orcas at Neist last week :(

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature oh that's good :) . Yes, not seen any Orcas for a while.

@@mythtree6348 they will be back :)

Lol that actually made me laugh about no deer or lymes around, even the vets has signs up for it, What many dont realise is Deer dont actually have lymes, Ticks are already infected from small animals and birds, even like blackbirds that carry the lyme bacteria. Strangely enough deer kill off lymes, and when they get bit by an infected tick they produce antibodies that circulate in the blood kill it off . it will even kill the bacteria in the tick itself if its still gorging on the treated blood. I know not all ticks carry the disease also. I was bitten when i was 16 and had the bullseye rash but never ended up with lymes. That wasnt on Skye though it was Northumberland. So rather than avoid Deer areas where deer actually kill off the disease. i dont worry too much as Its probably safer lol, Ive seen deer ticks and they are tiny little things compared to sheep ticks which are larger. Wolfy my dog likes to collect them and bring them home lol But I always found that intriguing about deer being immune and can even work as a vaccine for the tick lol. Yet the beautiful little blackbird and even robin carry the bacteria, so if a tick gets on those it can get infected and then get you lol. irony huh :)

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature ahh glad you are aware . Yes it's in mice and rats and birds and allsorts, and in their pee. The big and small ticks are the same species generally, live on sheep and deer and many other things. I think you may well be correct about deer . My friend got lots of bites and rashes and tested positive but when he took antibiotics he got sicker and the ticks no longer fell off him. He thinks he was immune prior to the antibiotics.

@@mythtree6348 wouldnt you think if the activated antibodies in deer can clean up any new ticks that bite them also, they would make a vaccine from that blood lol. Thats possible he was, i know i had antibiotics when i was bit. but never had any more bites since. The horse flies love me though lol. luckily i dont react like my mum she gets a serious infection from a horse fly bite and has to have antibiotics. So did he end up not being cured of the lymes? I have chronic fibromyalgia so know know how debilitating the pain can be. They seem to have similarities in symptoms so i was tested for lymes when i started to show signs of fibro. I dont catch cold or flu so luckily immune to those , just everything else is falling to bits lol

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature did you see this btw ? "In 55 years we have never seen the seabird colonies on Canna in a worse state. Fulmar, gulls, shags and guillemots at or near record low numbers. Breeding productivity figures for most species well below long term averages. Food supply a big issue." :(

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature bless you. It would help if we could get vets and drs to talk together . I've tried for years but they live in different worlds. Its well known that your body can develop resistance that makes a reaction to ticks saliva and so they fall off. My friend had that. They never attached. After the abx the ticks started attaching all the time. People here keep catching lyme getting treated catching it again , over and over. I think its better to develop that saliva reaction if possible. I come up in bumps from everything. its why im so glad theres no midgies at all this year. Probably means the ecology is collapsing or something but at least i dont look like a raspberry this year.

Early morning is usually a good time to spot them around Skye . Keep trying you will get there :)

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature I’ll have to go and look early morning then, thank you ☺️

@@NaturesSolitude have fun and good luck :)

lol i love that

lol i can imagine

It varies to be honest depending on the post or tree i can place them, and my target area. For me its any where between ground level for small or ground animals and 4 or 5 ft on trees for the likes of deer. Then i angle the camera some times with a stick placed behind the top or bottom at back. I just use the view screens on the Browning Cameras to position a target area center screen though when im placing them . hope that helps

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature How far from target or from the animal path to the camera

@@bakjiyo this may help hun tho for me personally i just aim in the general direction i want rather than measure distances, browningtrailcameras.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/216268468-Proper-Camera-Placement

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature ok thanks

oh that just means a small river or larger stream like an in betweeny lol its used in Scotland a lot ie Scottish Burn, but also used in other places too :)

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature Thanks, I never heard that term here in the U.S.

@@DesertCrittersOfArizona your welcome :)

im surprised there all over here, any trees nearby or have they been chopped down cos that would move them on xx

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature they got very brave during lockdown times and assumed they had the area to themselves .. lol . Once they realiseds people were still a 'thing' i think they moved on. There was a fire or two which burned trees . I guess that could give them piney ptsd.

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature We did find a couple dead on the road of course .. :(

@@mythtree6348 lol piney ptsd thats funny, i hate the muirburns they never control them and its been proven theres no need for them. the number or creatures they kill haunts me :(

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature it was like driving through a volcano this spring .. Not our smartest landuse :/

i think that about the adults too lol

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature terrifies me. Even i fall over on the slippy rocks outside but the deer manage to tiptoe over it. God knows how. I've never worked that out. Rabbit holes too. :/

@@mythtree6348 they are always getting sprains and injuries sadly, posted one other day where the Stag slipped in the river and sprained its leg on the camera , poor thing. Also midge hatch day today

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature Oh yes, I recall your film now. It's weirdly something i've never seen happen. So far second gorgeous warm day in a row with no nasty biteys .. very nice so far :)

@@mythtree6348 pfft we had showers and cloud yesterday lol tho clear night and full sun today, Tho they wont come out when its full sun or windy, They hatch and go to ground or in shadows and sheltered areas, Evening when it cools and if wind is low is usually when we get swamped and they hang around the sheltered areas by the boat or car. so even slight breeze can help keep them at bay

They are less regular than the others, Ty for subscribing :)

My pet wild gulls are sods for snotting the windows looking for me. When i go away i come back to a lot of snot as you can imagine lol Ive never tried to tame them to be honest as i worry about them getting hurt by others, but Baby Gully whos now about 4 or 5 doesnt wait for me to put fish down he grabs it off me so i can hand fish to him. Midges were out this morning too :(

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature Awwww gulls can be a bit much . We used to rear the baby gannets too.. only time ive had to wear an actual nose peg :) yup, finally found the midgies. I think you are right about their comeback months :/

@@mythtree6348 closest ive been to a live gannet was to detangle one, They have a beast of a bite although not as bad as a spurdog sting lol

funny enough i was wondering that cos its not happening to anyone else lol i even set the account to allow all your posts automatically even tho its open to anyone to post, The filters on YT must be over reacting, that would be so funny if thats the trigger word this one posted, lets see if it stays lol

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature midgies or moss is the trigger lol .

@@mythtree6348 there getting through lets see if they stay lol

@@mythtree6348 oh and b*a*mbi isnt allowed cos of copyright even tho its a baby deer, But baby deer just doesnt quite have the same cuteness tho lol

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature Shall I risk Bambino ?? ..... anyway , oddly virtually no m*idgies on east skye or east mainland . not sure if it's just too cold.

oddly enough they have moss all winter ! I havent seen the poor deer that had its mouth all ripped open and badly injured last year. I was hoping it would survive due to being able to eat the moss. But so far no sign :( xx

@@AzureOceans_Skye_Nature Aww.. deer on the beach here in the early morning, nibbling seaweed. hopefully your deer got some seaweed or sea water with iodine to fix its mouth. Such delicate things they are really when it comes to it. Many big mossy old trees and rocks being cleared away I notice .. moss needs to fight back :)

@@mythtree6348 lol it does as they say life always finds a way

Thankyou :)

Mum usually takes them away from the area to fend for themselves before having her new ones. thats usually east lol

the coats look amazing in sunlight xx

aww a fellow gully lover :) . I have a family of them that ive been feeding for 13 yrs now. I first started with a young female of about 3, she become the Mum, as introduced Mr Gully teaching him to come down for food. or Gobby as i call him as hes a right gob shite. Tho to be fair i have a few names for him depending on whether hes being a sod and bully lol. He even tells me off if he catches me feeding the others with a fast repetitive clucking lol. They had babies each yr who some times followed them here, and most move on but Baby Gully and his Sis Little Girly, who is a cute little thing stuck around. Mrs Gully went missing for weeks not long after Baby Gully and Little Girly were born. Mr Gully was going nuts trying to find her, squawking and flying at windows, He must have thought she was inside, they never are tho as my dog gets jealous and is territorial. He eventually turned up with a new bird !! The traitor. After about 6 weeks Mrs Gully reappeared all skinny and with a broken leg :( . She must have been trapped some where but managed to get free, I know call her Ducky ( Lame Ducky) and the new Mrs Gully is just called missus. They all still come daily but when they turn up at the same time all hell breaks loose. Mr Gully is very territorial and often bullies the Missus,. Ducky stands up to Missus and Mr " traitor" Gully despite her gammy leg, Baby Gully had never tried to take the food like this before, he always just waited for the food bowl or fish to go down. They even have there own feeding bowl with pic of Mr Gully and Gully and Family wording on it . I know i know , but they are all my babies lol. Good luck with your channel hun , they are such characters and give hours of comical pleasure. wonderful for healing :)

even animals are little sods and premeditate things lol xx
