Who took the cheese?

Today I put out cheese out and set up the video camera to see if I could catch a Wren on film. I had seen this tiny little bird bouncing down the rocks that surround my small pond. Yesterday it looked like it went in one of the little cave pockets I built for it and the toad that has also been spotted in this area.


Update April 2011:When I originally began adding videos to my blog I used Google to upload and host them. On April 29, 2011, videos that have been uploaded to Google Video will no longer be available for playback.

My plan is to replace as many videos as I can with the existing footage or better footage captured since. Please bear with me if the video below can't be found... I have 124 to work my way through :-)




Blackbirds, female shown above, and males, I did suspect may take the cheese as they have definitely been enjoying the scatterings I put out with the sultanas some days. I also suspected a field mouse may take it. I didn’t see it go. I was very fortunate in how I had positioned the camera and am very pleased with the result. Sadly the Blackbird will probably look there again – I hope it doesn’t scare off the wren. I will put the cheese away from this area next time, I don’t put it out every day.

The video clip above was taken in my garden on January 19th 2007.
