那隻鼬被困在洞裡的角落，情況很危險。或許版主可以請 REF 把他的狗叫回來。

the stoat was dangerously cornered in the hole. Maybe an mod could ask REF to call his dogs

22:34:06 🐕 🐶 狗狗對著鼬和正在移動的 Gylfie 吠叫。

22 34 06 🐕 🐶 barking at stoats and gylfie on the move

看來穀倉貓頭鷹（barn owls）對狗的吠叫毫不理會。

apparently the barn owls are ignoring dog's barks

有兩隻狗正在追蹤白鼬（stoats）。

there are two dogs tracking stoats

我覺得這隻幼犬（pup）可能會撞得鼻子流血。

I think the pup might get a bloodied nose.

我們聽到你了，Luna 貓頭鷹。

we hear you luna owl

確實很多，我猜應該是 Gylfie 的羽毛。Celeste 看起來也很常換羽（moult），真神奇，換完之後牠們居然看起來幾乎沒什麼不同 😂

There sure are, Gylfie's I assume. Celeste seems to moult a lot too, it's a wonder that they don't really look any different after 😂

Sycamore（西卡莫爾楓）附近有很多換下來的羽毛（moulted feathers）。

lots of moulted feathers in Sycamore.

哦，Sycamore 裡的是誰？是 Gylfie 嗎？

Oh, who's in Sycamore? Gylfie?

肯定是老鼠；相比之下，林鼠（wood mice）小得多。

Definitely a rat,wood mice are tiny in comparison.

寒鴉（Jackdaw）在山毛櫸樹（beech）上吵鬧。

Jackdaw being noisy in beech

約瑟夫，牠們真的很迷人（fascinating）。

They are fascinating Joseph.

就我這邊來說，目前還沒看到他。

From my side, haven't seen him yet.

Michelle，英國現在是秋季，冬季大約在十二月左右。

UK's autumn is now and winter around December time Michelle

@nicholasaugust1981，你最近也有看到 Percy 嗎？

have you also seen percy around @nicholasaugust1981

我的意思是，英國的秋季只有兩個月，而十二月對你們來說就是冬季嗎？

i mean uks autumn is it two months and dec is winter for you

是的，會有反聖嬰（El Niño）影響、西風、乾旱期和極端高溫；乾燥的風會把一切吹乾。

yeah it is we will get the elnino west winds dry spells and extreme heat dry wind drys everything

@nicholasaugust1981，英國的夏季只有兩個月，分別是六月和七月嗎？

june july august is the uk only two months @nicholasaugust1981

我們那裡的秋季有三個月。

our season has 3 months of autumn

哇，所以那裡是十月到十一月底，對嗎？

wow so its oct to end of nov rigfht rhewre

現在北半球（Northern hemisphere）正逐漸進入秋季（Autumn）。

Now it is becoming Autumn in the Northern hemisphere.

現在樹上的葉子變成紅色和黃色了嗎？

are the leaves changed colors now to red and yellow on trees

@MichelleScott-g5w，是的，英國是普通翠鳥（common kingfisher）的棲息地。

@MichelleScott-g5w Yes, the UK is home to the common kingfisher.

@nicholasaugust1981，英國（UK）有翠鳥（kingfisher）嗎？

@nicholasaugust1981 do you get kingfisher birds in the uk

你知道翠鳥幼鳥（baby kingfishers）會為了食物互相依偎嗎？

did you knowe baby kingfishers attach each other for food

@solodpat，沒有貓頭鷹（owls）。

@solodpat no owls

我們紐西蘭（NZ）這裡有水鼠（water rats）。

we have water rats here in nz

喔，原來是老鼠，沒事了（笑），我還以為是白鼬。

Oh it was a rat, nvm lol thought it was the stoats

白鼬（stoats）正忙著在沙地迷宮裡奔跑。

Stoats are busy running send maze

啊，@xaviers，希望他們明年也許能配對成功。

aww @xaviers. hope they get binded next year maybe

@xavoers7415，你最近有看到 Percy 嗎？我看到一隻沒有腳環的貓頭鷹，不確定是 Ghost 還是他。

@xavoers7415 you seem Percy lately I've seen one owl who had no ring not sure if it's ghost or him

大概一週吧？我現在也不太確定。他們之前都在 Elm；我想他們現在不會互相鳴叫了，這段戀情的熱度已經消退了一點。

Like maybe a week? I'm not sure now? they were both in Elm, I dont think they call to each other now the heat of the affair has subsided a liuttle

啊，希望他還是 Gyrfie，Remy。

aww hope he is still gyrfie Remy

Xavierrs，我離開這段時間，你可能比我更清楚 Percy 這週有沒有出現？

Xavierrs you might know better than me if Percy has been around this week while I've been away?

牠們會互相鳴叫嗎？

do they call to each other

喔，他最近有出現嗎？

oh has he been around lately

嗨，Michelle 😊 不確定 Percy 在哪裡。

Hi Michelle 😊 not sure where Percy is

Michelle，他應該會在附近某處；他目前不是每天都會來訪。

He'd be about somewhere Michelle, he's not a daily visitor currently

從我們開始看到成對的貓頭鷹為新一季勘察巢箱（prospecting nestboxes）時，我就開始說「上一季」了，而那並沒有花太久時間。

I started saying last season as soon as we started seeing pairs prospecting nestboxes for the new season, which didn't take very long

Persil 在哪裡？

where is. persil

可憐的老鼠在那隻褐鴞（tawny）俯衝下來時毫無勝算。褐鴞把牠拖到地面上，看起來還一副相當得意的樣子😁。應該是 Luna，也可能是 Shadow。

Poor rat didn’t stand a change when the tawny swooped. Dragged it on to the ground and looked pretty smug about it 😁Probably Luna or perhaps Shadow

還是要說 now last？🤔 什麼時候要改變時態？

or now last 🤔 when does the tense change?

我上次看到 Gylfie 帶著野生獵物其實沒有隔太久，而且我知道 Dryer 這一季也帶了一些小獵物回去給雛鳥。

It hasnt been that long I've seen Gylfie with wild prey and I know Dryer brought a few bits in for their chicks this season

你說這裡的穀倉貓頭鷹（BOs，Barn Owls）有點被寵壞了，可能還真有道理😂。獵物越大就代表工作越辛苦，所以我確定如果不是非做不可，牠們應該不太想嘗試。

You might be onto something that the BOs here are a bit spoilt 😂 bigger prey means harder work, so I'm sure they'd rather not try it if they don't need to

我應該更專心一點，@Emmargee，我真想看到那一幕……我是指那隻褐鴞（Tawny Owl）抓老鼠的事。

I should concentrate more @Emmargee I would of loved to of seen that.... the Tawny rat thing I mean

也許牠們在 DOC 上被寵得有點太習慣了；Charter Group 的攝影機那邊，穀倉貓頭鷹常常會遇到大老鼠，他們稱那些老鼠為棉鼠（Cotton Rats）。

Maybe they have become a little to spoilt on DOCs, the Charter Group cams the BO often have big rats, they call them Cotton Rats over there

幾個晚上前，一隻棕鴞從 MW 把其中一隻帶走了。

A few nights ago a Tawny made off with one off MW.

嗨，Emmargee 😊 以及 Xavierrs，希望你們兩位都好。

Hello Emmargee 😊 and Xavierrs, I hope you're both well

是 BO，不是 BIO。

BO not BIO

這是今晚第二次齧齒動物對上穀倉貓頭鷹；第一次是在 MW，當時那隻老鼠受到驚嚇，真的直接跳到幾公尺高。

It's the second Rodent vs BIO encounter tonight, the first on on MW the Rat literally just meters into the air in shock

「為什麼我的食物正在吃我的食物？」😆 我想牠可能是那隻被救援的雌鳥，所以還滿年輕的。不過穀倉貓頭鷹通常似乎不太想追捕老鼠；對牠們來說，老鼠是相當大的獵物，處理起來很有挑戰。

'Why is my food eating my food?' 😆 I think she might be the female rescue, so pretty young. The BOs don't seem keen on going after the rats generally though, quite big prey for them to tackle

也許牠融入背景得太好了？穀倉貓頭鷹是遠視（far-sighted）的，所以可能直到距離太近才發現牠。

Maybe it blended in to much? BO's are far sighted so it could of been too close before it realised

就是啊 😂 也許那是一隻年輕的穀倉貓頭鷹，所以經驗還有點不足？我無法想像那隻老鼠遇到 Gylfie 還能活下來。

Exactly 😂 maybe a young BO so a bit inexperienced? Can’t imagine that mouse would have survived a Gylfie encounter

我彷彿聽見牠在說：「等等……什麼？」

I can hear it saying "wait.... what?"

沒錯 :)) 那隻穀倉貓頭鷹看起來這麼驚訝，真有趣 :))

True :)) funny how surprised the BO looked :))

我對穀倉貓頭鷹的喜愛勝過對老鼠的喜愛。

My like for BO's outweighs my like for mice

我連試著辨認那隻穀倉貓頭鷹都不敢——我實在很不在行！！我只知道牠有戴腳環 😂

I won’t even try to ID the BO - I’m hopeless!! I just know it’s ringed 😂

我不想說得太殘酷，但我還真想看到那隻穀倉貓頭鷹把牠抓走。

I dont wanna be nasty but I would of loved to have seen the BO take it

歡迎你 :) 我也很高興見到你。我不知道老鼠是不是也像貓一樣有好幾條命，但那隻老鼠剛才肯定失去了好幾條命 😅

Welcome :) nice to cu too. I don’t know if mice have multiple lives like cats but that one lost quite a few there 😅

喔，牠不是 Ghost，牠的腳上有腳環。

Oh it's not Ghost, it has a ring on it

我想這可能也把 Ghostie 嚇得和那隻老鼠一樣。

I think it might of scared Ghostie as much as it did with the mouse

很高興見到你，也謝謝你分享那段 FP 上老鼠的時間標記（TS）。

Nice to see you and thanks for that TS with the mouse on the FP

其實海鵰（sea eagles）現在正在直播（on live），剛才有個有趣的瞬間：S38 把一根大樹枝放到 S37 身上，而那根樹枝現在還在那裡。

the sea eagles are on live right now actually and there was a funny moment where s38 put a large stick on s37 and it's still there right now

我覺得這幾週海鵰（sea eagles）一直相處得相當不錯。真的只有在牠們出生後頭兩、三週時，才曾經出現問題。

I feel like the sea eagles have been getting along pretty well the last few weeks. it's really only when there's their first two or three weeks of age where it was a problem

就好像牠們快要餓死了一樣。

as like if they starving to death]

@你說得沒錯，而且那些剛出生的幼鳥發出的聲音相當可怕（horrendous）。

@your right there and the noise the babies new born make is quite herrendous

對，你知道體型最大的那隻殺死了年紀較小的魚狗（kingfisher）嗎？

yeah did you know the biggest one killed the youngerst kingfisher

自然界中有很多這樣的例子。

Theres lost of exaples of this in nature

我看到一場打鬥。

i seen a fight

我很同情雪梨那些可憐的海鵰（Sea Eagles）；牠們有兩隻雛鳥，而年長的那隻似乎一直欺負、挑釁（needle）年幼的那隻。

I feel for the poor Sea Eagles in Sydney, 2 chicks and the older one seems to constantly needle the younger one

對，@xavierrs7415，你知道幼年灰頭魚狗（grizzly kingfishers）在媽媽餵食時，竟然會互相攻擊（attack）嗎？

yes @xavierrs7415 did you know the baby grizzly kingfishers they actrually attach each other when the mum gives them food

@ForrestBooks 牠們也會偷吃奇異鳥（kiwi）的蛋。

@ForrestBooks they steal kiwi eggs too

所有動物都有自己的生態位置；有時就連像白鼬（stoat）這樣可愛的動物也會殺死其他動物。即使是我那隻最可愛、像世上最溫柔生物的 Liberty，也會殺死老鼠、大鼠或負鼠（possum）。

All animals have their place and sometime even the cute ones like Stoats kill other animals, eveen my Liberty who is the sweetest creature to be on this earth would kill a mouse, rat or Possum

「白鼬（stoat，Mustela erminea），也稱為歐亞白鼬（Eurasian ermine）或 ermine，是一種原產於歐亞大陸及北美北部地區的鼬科動物（mustelid）。」我們在這裡看到的就是這個物種。

"The stoat (Mustela erminea), also known as the Eurasian ermine or ermine, is a species of mustelid native to Eurasia and the northern regions of North America." That is the species we're seeing here.

看起來像早先那隻大白影（big ghostie）。

looks like big ghosrtie earlier

@СовенокТи https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoat（白鼬）

@СовенокТи https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoat

@CoberoxTn 紐西蘭（New Zealand）也有這些動物。

@CoberoxTn we have these in new zealand too

我們這裡也有伶鼬（stoats）。

stoats we have here too

白鼬（ermine）的尾巴是黑色的！！！而且牠的毛皮很有價值。英格蘭沒有白鼬。

The ermine has a black tail!!! and the fur is valuable. there are none in England

🙄鼬把所有的雞都偷走了……貓頭鷹會餓肚子。如果你覺得這樣比較好，我就保持安靜……😥

🙄the weasels stole all the chickens... the owls will be hungry. if it suits you, I'll keep quiet.....😥

牠們已經在 Fotherdale 生活很多年了，一直都沒有問題；牠們是很可愛的動物。

they've lived at Fotherdale for many years with no problems, they're lovely animals

伶鼬（stoats）和白鼬（ermines）是同一種動物，牠們的毛皮在冬天會變白。

stoats and ermines are the same thing, their fur turns white in the winter

鼬也會不斷勒死雞和鳥類……🙄😡😡😡

Weasel constantly strangles chickens and birds too...🙄😡😡😡

鼬（weasel）不是白鼬（ermine）！白鼬生活在俄羅斯或針葉林（taiga）的茂密森林中。

a weasel is not an ermine! The ermine lives in Russia or the taiga in dense forests.

鼬——甚至連人都害怕她的貓頭鷹！！！牠比老鼠還危險。

Weasel - even people are afraid of her owls!!! she's more dangerous than a rat

這裡不設陷阱，我們希望這些伶鼬（stoats）留下來 😁

no traps here, we want the stoats 😁

啊，我查過了（looked it up）。

ah, I've looked it up

鼬（weasel）——白鼬（ermine）……一種齧齒類動物。

weasel - ermine... species of rodent

Laska 是什麼？

what is Laska?

LASKA——會偷雞。需要設陷阱抓牠！！！

LASKA - steals chickens. need to set a trap!!!

如果運氣好的話（with any luck），我們會有一隻常駐的雌性個體跟著 Bandita 和 Hazel，但現在還不能高興得太早（mustn't count our chickens）。

with any luck we'll get a resident female to follow Bandita and Hazel, but mustn't count our chickens

喔，好吧，原來牠們是救援回來的（rescues），不錯；我們也希望牠們能留下來（stick around）。

Oh ok, they are rescues, nice, we I hope they stick around as well

我猜應該只會有一隻留下來（stick around），如果牠們之中真的有留下來的話；牠們成年後領域性（territorial）很強。

I'd assume only one will stick around, if indeed any of them do, they're quite territorial in adulthood

根據 REF，當時有三隻救援個體被放回野外；我想我們只看過兩隻同時出現。

there were three rescues released according to REF - I think we've only seen 2 at the same time

我想我以前沒看過牠們「現場直播（live）」出現；我幾週前才問過，所以看到牠們回來真的很棒。牠們有幾隻？兩隻？

I dont think I've seen them "live" I asked a few weeks ago so yes it is great to see them back, how many are there? 2?

又有一隻白鼬（stoat）出現真是太好了，感覺就像有些東西重新回到了原本的位置。

it's great having a stoat again, feels like something slotting back into place

回到我們那位小鼬鼠朋友，牠最近很忙，所以目前 MW 上什麼都沒剩下。

Going back our little Stoat friend has been busy hence why at this time there is nothing left on MW

如果那裡被針刺到，我前面也有很多脂肪可以緩衝……但還是會痛！

I have lots of padding out front as well if I got a needle there.... still ouch!

我把畫面放慢了，通常是爪子抓住爪子的虛張聲勢（psyche-out）較量，但即使如此還是很痛。

I've slowed them down and it's usually tallons gripping talons in a phyce out competition, but still

幸好牠們那裡至少有很多緩衝，尤其是 Luna。

luckily they've lots of cushioning there at least - especially Luna

我每次看到牠們伸出爪子，直接朝對方前方的腹部抓去時，都會忍不住皺眉（wince）……好痛！😖

I always wince when I see talons out and straight into their bellies in front.... Ouch!😖

你說得對，99% 的時候都不會受傷，但穀倉貓頭鷹（BO）對上灰林鴞（tawny）時，還是會讓人擔心。

you're right, 99% of the time no harm done but one worries when it's BO vs tawny

我相信牠們沒事，我覺得那次攻擊不是我看過最嚴重的，只是策畫得非常好。

I'm sure they are, I think that attack was not the worst I've seen just very well planned

是啊……希望牠們沒事，通常像那樣小小扭打（scuffle）過後，其中一隻很快就會回到巢位（post）。

aye... hope they're alright, usually after a wee scuffle like that one of them will be straight back to post

哇，穀倉貓頭鷹（BO）上次對 FP 的撲倒真是大膽，直接衝上去……砰！

Wow, ballsy move by the BO on that last FP take down, straight in..... WHAM!
