Bird Buddy Live Feed (2 Viewers)

Hi!

Folk might be aware a product called Bird Buddy, a feeder with camera that can send you alerts and photos if birds land on your feeder.

Well the makers also post a live feed of birds landing on their customers feeders, presumably with the customers permission. It just seems to be US.

 
Some great closeups here (including those taken at very unusual angles). I can see a Common Magpie and a Eurasian Blue Tit, so--apparently--it works all around the world. (Unlike live feeder feeds, this site at least guarantees that you won't have to wait for the birds to show up.) Interesting to watch for me (possibly until it gets repetitive, though).

EDIT: It does make mistakes, unfortunately--I've just seen it confuse a Chaffinch for a Bullfinch.
EDIT 2: And a Eurasian Jay for a House Sparrow (seriously).
EDIT 3: And a House Sparrow for an Evening Grosbeak.
EDIT 4: And a House Sparrow for a White-crowned Sparrow.
EDIT 5: And a Great Tit for a Hooded Crow. 😮
EDIT 6: And a Eurasian Tree Sparrow for a House Sparrow.
EDIT 7: And a House Sparrow for a Chipping Sparrow (five times).
EDIT 8: And a Chipping Sparrow for a White-throated Sparrow.
EDIT 9: And a Chipping Sparrow for a Carolina Wren (twice).
EDIT 10: And a Dunnock for a House Sparrow.
EDIT 11: And a Northern Cardinal for a Red-bellied Woodpecker.
EDIT 12: And a Red-winged Blackbird for a Brown-headed Cowbird.
EDIT 13: And a Common Starling for a Eurasian Blackbird.
EDIT 14: And a European Robin for a House Sparrow.
EDIT 15: And a House Finch for a House Sparrow.
EDIT 16: Blue Jay for White-breasted Nuthatch.
EDIT 17: Brown-headed Cowbird for Common Grackle (twice).
