We're on a CL with ponds, ducks and moorhens. This will be a challenge for the camera tonight. The camera is strapped to the trunk of a willow tree near the waters edge. I'll let you know in the morning if it catches anything........

ValDa. Ours is called a Trail Wildlife Camera, battery operated, waterproof etc digital photos (colour in the daytime) with a memory card. It can be power operated too. It has mounting straps and a good instruction book. It came from ebay after a previous purchase proved to be useless! This one was on offer under £40, normally around £60.

Thanks Brue.  I've had a quick look and there are hundreds of different Trail Wildlife Cameras at a huge variety of prices.  Do you have a picture as I want to get one for OH's birthday?  I probably won't find the exact same, but it will help to rule some of them out.

Brue, great pictures of the fox. I always love bringing the camera in after leaving it out overnight. Very exciting.

Valda - Our camera is an Ltl Acorn 6210MC. 12 Mega pixels game and trail camera. It's motion activated and records pictures or video. You can set it up to take as 1,2 or 3 pictures every so many seconds or minutes. It's battery operated so easy to set up anywhere with a small viewing screen to replay anything recorded. Day time pictures are in colour and very good. Night time pictures are taken in infrared and are therefore black and white. It's a "no glo" flash so it has no visible light to scare the wildlife off when it's activated. Prices online are around £144.

Ours is 12 pixels, I'm reliably informed by my technical assistant you need at least a 2.4 TFT LCD., full HD. smile
