An array of animals all use the same fallen trunk as a bridge

This is the heart-warming moment a menagerie of animals use a fallen tree trunk over le lac du Der in Champagne, France, as their very own animal crossing. Footage, captured by wildlife artist Jean Chevallier, 57, throughout 2018, shows tiny field mice, woodpeckers, a cat and even a snake travel across the natural walkway in an attempt to stay dry.

I see someone mentions this was filmed in France. I wondered where it was filmed. I saw plenty of critters native to North America but several more that I had no idea of their origin. The long tailed cats, ( I thought at first they were feral cats) then I saw a jay type bird I’ve never seen before, and several animals I thought were mink but their color was more in line with a pine Martin!!! Now I know!!!

If the camera is anything like my one, there is a red light on the front that glows when it detects something. It was hilarious after the 'first night' with my camera in the back garden (which backs onto woods and streams). Every animal walking past had a look of surprise on its face. And almost every animal had a second shot of it looking directly into the lens.
