I got myself a fairly cheap trail cam to have a play with catching photos / footage of wildlife using my back garden bird feeders. I set it up just before dark last night and brought it in same time today to see how it worked. It wasn't very successful the lighting put a lot of the captures in silhouette and it didn't capture any of the smaller bird I know visited. I will try setting up at the opposite end of the wall to see if this solves the light issue and try putting the motion sensitivity up although i worry branches moving in the breeze will set it off constantly. Is there any advice this community can share about getting better results with trail cams or maybe I'm just going about this the wrong way?
It managed to catch lots of squirrel and wood pigeon pics/footage, a herring gull, a great tit, a blackbird and what i think is either a robin or a flycatcher in flight.
