00:00So hello again my friends. I hope you're all doing well. This is just a very quick update video
00:08for the camera trap that I set on the stream up the mountain here. And basically the news is that
00:16there's not really very much news at all. I've had to take down the trap, remove it,
00:23because there's been an outbreak here in this part of the country of African swine flu and they
00:32are afraid that the wild boar population up the mountain here is also affected. So they have
00:40asked us not to be coming up here too much so that we can avoid the risk of spreading the
00:47virus.
00:48So that being the case I took it down. In the event it only recorded a little mouse
00:55after being out for five days. The two trail cams that I had set up here at the waterfall,
01:01basically if you see behind me there's a fallen tree over the waterfall and I was curious to know
01:08if anything was using that to go between the upper and lower part of the forest here. In the event
01:19there was a, I didn't catch it actually using the fallen tree, but there was what I believe to be
01:27a
01:27little bit of stone martin, beach martin running around the back there. And then the second trail cam I
01:34set up overlooking this fallen branch here. And amazingly enough it caught what I believe is a
01:45goshawk, but I'm happy to be corrected by any of you out there that might be better at recognizing birds
01:52than I.
01:55I think it was a female goshawk and in the, I think I've got three clips of it and you
02:03can hear
02:03it calling to its partner and you briefly catch a glimpse of the partner as well as it flies through
02:11the frame. So that was nice, but unfortunately I won't be able to set up a camera trap to try
02:17and
02:17record it. I'm probably going to be away for most of August so I won't be putting any, doing any
02:25camera
02:26trapping during this time. So I'll be back again in the autumn for more camera trapping and hopefully I
02:37shall see you all then. Thanks so much for following along. I really do appreciate it and I shall see
02:44you all again soon. Bye for now.
