Lazy harbour seal swims casually backwards - 2012
This is Willie, the famous harbour seal, she is wild, but frequently visits the harbour in Hoernum on the island Sylt, in northern Germany. Here she casually turns over on to her back and out of sight. She is always ready to be fed some raw fish which tourists can purchase from a fish and chips stand at the harbour.

This is Willie, the harbour seal from Sylt
Willie, short for Wilhelmine, is a famous seal that regularly visits the harbour of Hoernum on the island Sylt in northern Germany. She is feral, but she knows where to get easy fish. Tourists love her and a fish and chips stand at the harbour sells raw fish for tourists to feed her. Many stand at the edge of the harbour, calling her name until she appears. If you hold the fish out of the water, she will stretch up and bounce like a buoy to get to the fish. She is a magnificent creature, a grey seal. This footage was recorded back in September 2012.

So you thought magpies were black and white?
Eurasian magpies are often believed to be black and white, however when the sun shines on their plumage, beautiful shimmering colours shine through.
Many people think of magpies as being black and white. Well first of all, there are Australian magpies and Eurasian magpies, and although they are both called magpies, they look quite different. This is a video of Eurasian magpies and their plumage looks amazing when the light falls on it. It shimmers in shades of blue and green and makes them look rather exotic. We have an adult and a fledgling in our Wildlife Oasis, being regular visitors. Showing off their gorgeous feathers as they bathe and drink and enjoy our wildlife oasis during the hot summer days in Berkshire, England, UK. Summer 2020.
Welcome to Our Wildlife Oasis where we have put up several cameras to get footage of our daily visitors. We leave out treats and water for them. Especially on hot days the water is very much appreciated by the wonderful British wildlife that comes into our garden to visit the wildlife pit-stop, the nut-hut, the birdfeeder or the bird-bath. We are lucky to have a big garden in Berkshire in England and we get to see many birds, grey squirrels, foxes and hedgehogs. We try not to feed them too much, sometimes leaving out a few days so they do not get dependent on us, at the end of the day, these are wild creatures and their survival depends on being resourceful and we do not want to give them a false sense of secure food source. The cameras record night and day and I pick the footage and edit it for the final cut

High speed nut depletion by squirrel
Our garden squirrels finish the peanut refill already very quickly, but I thought, let's speed it up and watch the nuts disappear.

Grey squirrel eating peanuts at the nut-hut
We had a bug hotel which was raided by the woodpecker at some stage and so I started adding peanuts into the free room for the squirrels and birds. Here's the grey squirrel eating one nut after the other.

Bathing time for a robin in a British garden
A European robin bathing during summer in an English garden.It has been an extremely hot year for the UK, compared to the usual temperatures. In our wildlife sanctuary, which is our garden in Berkshire, we make sure to leave plenty of water for our wildlife visitors to cool off and have a drink. In return we are rewarded with beautiful sightings like this one, where the red chested robin is taking a bath in a yellow dish during this year's summer.
