Last night we had a deer at about 7:30pm and a fox at about 10:00pm.
After the photos there is a brief description of how I get these pictures - there have been some new additions to the mailing list and even for some who have been getting them for a while, it might be interesting to know how it is done.
How it is done - in brief.
Firstly, it is totally dark out there - the light is from InfraRed lamps that allow my infrared cameras to work. The animals see nothing! One infrared camera in on a raspberry Pi ( single board computer) that is doing motion detection. When something happens it turns on a high-def video camera that records in infrared. Also the Pi takes a photo every 5 seconds while there is movement. I review these pictures then next morning to see what happened and then get the hi-def video clips from the camera. The YouTube video are clips from the camera, and then the still shots are taken from the video. SIMPLE........
