Although we very rarely manage to capture a photo of a hummingbird we do enjoy their brief visits in the summer months. We try to keep the feeder topped up with the sugary 'nectar' mix that they love.
For some weeks now it has been obvious that it is not only the hummingbirds that love the nectar - on many mornings the feeder has been completely empty. We suspected squirrels, deer, even woodpeckers.
But we were wrong, as we found out when David set up a motion-triggered night vision camera..
This cheeky raccoon spent twenty minutes tipping up the feeder and drinking the nectar..
The game is up! We are now bringing the feeder in overnight..
Could you not put it higher up
