A problem is that there is little point having the motion sensor active because it picks up the movement of the leaves. It can’t distinguish between that and a squadron of starlings. Neos will let you define more precise zones for the camera, but like everything have to pay for it. I need to get better at watching the camera between 0930 and 1030 which seems to be the main session.
Having said that, Yesterday afternoon was a pleasure. There was a squadron of starlings and three or four pigeons and two squirrels all around the bottom of the garden. There was plenty of food about, and I hope they all had their fill. One of the squirrels came right down the fence line, very close to the house. Once again, I didn’t have my phone with me and I didn’t want to move in case we frightened it.
It has made us think about getting a second bird table, to put on the patio. I’ve tried bird feeders, as I really would like to get the small birds, sparrows especially and the Robbin who is a regular to the fence and blackbirds who we see, but they don’t stay. I feel that it is a real honour that they visit us. I will try and get some pictures.
