Lighting conditions for photography were awful for most of the time and the results grainy so I combined some of the half decent in one collage. The 350D with 70-200mm lens took over 300 shots but most ended up in Dusty Bin..
I was surprised how often the Robin appeared in the shots as I rarely see it on the table.
What a great idea, John. Last month's Countryfile Magazine had an advert for the Bushnell Trophy Cam, as used in the recent Tigers of Bhutan series. I have thought about buying one (sometime in the future).
ReplyDeleteHave you adapted your bird table yourself John.
ReplyDeleteNeat idea John, and good results too.
ReplyDeleteA delightful collage John!
ReplyDeleteI just caught up with yesterday's post too and enjoyed the videos. It always fascinates me when you mention the chickens in the churchyard, I have never seen that anywhere, who do they actually belong to?
Hello Emma. The Bushnell cameras seem to be very good by all accounts, far better than the Prostalk I bought.
ReplyDeleteNot quite sure which bit you mean Capt. S. I put the wire mesh round the table to keep the greedy pigeons away. The IR detector is also home brew - a room IR passive detector which operated a relay which triggers a wireless remote trigger for the camera. All operated from a 12V gell cell battery.
ReplyDeleteThank you Keith. With decent sunlight the results can be very good but with poor light plus manual focus it doesn't cover the full depth of the table.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jan.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the chickens, both properties each side of the churchyard keep free range chickens which either fly over the wire fencing or find gaps through it - the grass always being greener on the other side ;)
