Today I spent time at Meon Shore and Titchfield Haven watching the sea while my trail cameras were set in the field near home.
Bristow – HM Coastguard search and rescue (SAR) helicopter over the Solent.
Our local Spitfire was also up.
Birds spotted today.
Trail camera captures Roe Deer and a Fox
Loved the videos. Liked that bird that looked like he was dancing in the water. You captured some great shots. Nice video of the deer and that beautiful fox.

thanks, Peggy, The Black-headed gull is something birds go it seems to agitate the water to stir up food such as invertebrates. Herons and Egrets also do it.

Great pictures and videos! The birds are doing some kind of leg dance…is that a way to keep their feet from sinking into the mud? The doe eyes are like flashlight beams in the dark.

In nature, movements are not random but serve a purpose! Your explanation reminded me of a science video I saw with my kids of raccoons digging up mud with their hands and mushing it between their hands, as well as birds kicking up dirt. The show presented the clip first and had you guess what they were doing.
What kind of camera do you use to film the night animals?

For the night shots, I use a Browning trail camera. I leave out hidden and hope!
