Last month I finally decided it was about time I had a go with the trail camera. I came up with a cunning plan and set it up on the Birsay Moors.

Below is a link to a film I made with the time-lapse photos – every 15 minutes in a period of 24 hours and also I thought I’d set it up for triggering with movement but user error strikes again! So, unfortunately no bird photos.

The changeable nature of Orkney weather is highlighted with the various cloud patterns, blue sky appearing and disappearing ….. and then not being able to see anything at all!! Look out for the streetlights of Dounby, the lighthouses (on the islands of Hoy and Graemsay – yes you can see that far!) and the movement of the moon over the night sky in the eerie infrared images.

 

…... now where next for the camera? Any suggestions?
