De Mortel Bird Feeder

The camera looks out on a bird feeder in a wooded area near the village of De Mortel, in the Dutch province of North Brabant. Viewers typically see a steady stream of forest birds such as tits, finches and woodpeckers landing to feed. Squirrels often appear, and the setting is recognisable by its mix of trees and farmland typical of the region.

Activity is highest in the early morning and late afternoon, when birds are most active. In winter, food is scarcer, so more species visit the feeder, and the shorter days mean the light is softer. Spring and summer bring longer daylight and different visitors, including insects and young birds. Occasional sightings of owls, foxes or badgers add variety, especially around dawn and dusk.

De Mortel is a small village surrounded by woodland and farmland, characteristic of North Brabant's rural landscape. The area is known for its nature trails and cycling routes, and visitors often explore the woods and fields to observe local wildlife. The feeder camera provides a window into the daily life of the forest, showing how birds and other animals interact with their environment.
