Tested it today in the warm and it worked fine so I'll be ordering the rechargeables.
Steefo = what trap have you purchased - anything you would change on it?
How much do camera traps roughly cost?
One camera is working finally a few pics from it from this week

I've had my bushnell camera trap since January, but as I also got a new baby at the same time, I've only just got round to giving it a try. I had it in a native pinewood from 6th April until 14th April, and it was only triggered three times in the 8 days. One of these was at night but nothing (as far as I can see) was captured. The other two occasions were in the evening and both involved Roe Deer.
The flash reflection on the night-time shot suggested that I had put the camera too close to the target area, so today I have moved the trap to a new location in the same wood. This is on a game trail that had some probable pine marten scat on it, so we'll see what I find next week.
I've been really pleased with the battery life (perhaps because it has taken so few pictures!). I invested in some energiser lithium batteries, which are expensive (over £7 for a full set of 8), but after a week, the battery charge indicator is still showing full.
I really like the shot with the two fox and a badger all together.
Have you managed to find out what is wrong with the other camera?

Not really but I have finally got it working, I keep getting errors and it will not do anything.
The third camera I have just bought so is mine (the others have been lent to me) is just going into my garden to get it setup so hopefull some photos from that in a few days
I have a couple of fox photos to upload later

Finally got a couple of reasonable pics of Pine Marten.

Excellent - I'm very jealous.
So far the best I've managed is six Red Deer backsides!
