Happy to see three badgers on my trailcam video -- it's probably a mother, older sister (half-sister) and young badger. That's a typical family group.

Great to see this fox hunting for and catching a frog in the dark. Our local foxes seem to be very skinny and unhealthy (with a lot of mange), so I'm happy that this one managed to get a little snack.

Don't say "yuk!" This funnel-web spider is the world's best mother!! She carries her egg sac around until the spiderlings hatch, and then she lets them feed on her self-digesting body for a few weeks(!!) until they are big enough to survive on their own. She literally gives her life for them.

This is a very busy photo showing at least 4 species of beetle, 3 or more species of fly, a butterfly, a cockroach. Also, in a first for me, on the right side is a fleshy red/brown caterpillar of the moth Cossus jezoensis (ボクトウガ) which is exciting because as well as eating wood, it's also a predatory caterpillar, eating small insects that it finds in the tree sap.

Little grebes.
There were 4 chicks and the parent bird (alone) was very busy diving for fish. I was around 50m away so it was difficult to get clear shots.
