A few days ago, I set up a Buzzard post in one of our fields, to see if I could attract anything to a position, that might give me a good photo opportunity. I left a 'trail-cam' in place for a few days and collected it this morning. - Happy to say that it recorded over twenty visits by this Buzzard, so I will now be setting up the hide and 'DSLR', to try and get some 'proper' shots over the coming days.

In the meantime, here is the best of the shots from the 'trail cam'!

Hi Rebus,

This was taken with an 'APEMAN H70'.

I have a few of these trail cams and normally, only use them to identify potential 'locations', prior to setting up my 'DSLR' Camera trap, or hide, for 'proper' images.

However, I have to say that I was very impressed with this shot. - It is 'cropped' from the original image.

Thanks. Looks similar to the Victure trail cams I have.

I've yet to capture any great images Ike that, but I get a few videos of badgers and foxes in the garden.

Cheers!

Just sometimes, I get lucky!

Watching the football this afternoon, when I glanced up and spotted this Female Sparrowhawk, sitting in the rain, in my garden......Shot through double glazing, as no time to open a window.

Witnessed my first sparrow hawk attack today in my back garden appropriately the victim was a sparrow. The attack was all the more remarkable as the access was limited so we’ll done to the sprawk. A box ticked for me. Especially pleased with the results as light was bad and shots taken through window.
