Camera trap delights (1 Viewer)

Capercaillie71 · Jun 12, 2011

I'm getting a bit bored of deer now. After nearly a month at a new location, Roe Deer were the only things I recorded (apart from two people with a dog). Interesting to see how much the bracken grew during the month, and interesting to see that the camera moved at some point.

I've now followed Turkish Van's example and put the camera next to the river below the forest. I've pointed it at a rock that had some otter spraint on it.

Just got back from Finland and the trap has been inaction again with a new visitor the the garden, the fox is also still there but the badger has only given tail shots.

We see them all the time in the village but first time we have realised they were in the garden.

Up close and personal with a heron
And a lovely badger who waddled along with her tail sticking up, quite unaware my camera was watching her.

I have just returned from spending 8 weeks in the Brazilian Amazon carrying out my dissertation project. I took my camera trap with me and here are some screenshots of the videos I got. I will try and make a small video with some of the good clips as well at some point.

Pictures include:

Armadillo
Jaguar (unfortunately just tail)
Red brocket deer
Paca
Opossum (not sure of exact species)

Great shots of some unusual mammals Steefo. Every time I check out this thread the animals get more interesting!

The Armadillo looks like a Giant, Steefo, have you got video that we can see ?

Hey guys I have finally put some videos up of the footage I captured in Brazil. It was a bit rushed but hopefully you will like some of the clips.

Here they are:

Camera trap footage

I have some clips from the UK that I'll be adding in the next couple of days.

Wow, some great footage, thanks for adding, certainly ups the ante!

That armadillo reminds me of a giant pill millipede with a pointy nose and and 4 columns for legs - a bizarre creature, great video.

Do you have any idea what the last clip is in the pick n mix video?

Steefo · Jun 22, 2011

Thanks, im not entirely sure what the last animal is in the mix. The local guys I worked with in the forest had many a debate on what we thought it might be and the two most likely choices were either a Tayra Eira barbara or a anteater although I think it is more likely to be a Tayra as the tail isn't extremely bushy. If you have any opinions let me know.

No otters yet. In fact only one animal so far in 12 days at the new location.

Even though the clip is short, blink and you could miss it, the animal certainly walks like a Tayra and the back end including tail droop is rather distinctive - http://www.jczinn.com/Central and South America/Costa Rica/Other Fauna/slides/tayra_1168a.html

Just went to retrieve my camera trap from where it has been on the river bank (pointing at a rock with otter spraint) since the 12th of June. Since I last checked it on 24 June it has recorded absolutely nothing! Unbelievable. So I've given up with that site and I'm going to find somewhere else to put it.

That is unbelievable!!! I think I might have thrown it in the river....

Perhaps turn the camera around maybe it passed at the back of it.
