After a bit of judicious trimming of vegetation and re-positioning the IR detector I set things up again to see what wildlife was visiting for a drink or a quick bath.
Here is the IR detector in place:
I was thinking I had built this a couple of years ago and was astounded when I found out I had originally written about building it ten years ago here (Heath Robinson Strikes Again). While the weather is fine I have left the detector in place so the birds get used to it being there.
A few regulars from Tuesday:
House Sparrows
Female Blackbird
Robin
(must remember to set the camera to manual focus)
Wood Pigeons
At least there were fewer false triggers and empty photos to delete.
Automated twitching. It does a fair job.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: I do like that description.
