Noticed food was disappearing but suspected rats/cats as the weather has been so dire ... had a calmish night to set up trailcam ... imagine my delight at discovering this footage
The season has begun! Woo-hoo!!!

Lot to learn
Definitely good and good to see the cam still working.
I've not managed to record much hoggie activity here, though I am getting lots of camera trips but nothing on video, so something is activating the sensor, but not staying in view long enough to be recorded. It could be moths, cats, though the foxes tend to hang around. However, one occasion, we did see a small hog running around, snout down, food searching, so the good news is, they still visit and we have young not far away.

Same here Mike, a few 'blanks' but no hoggie on screen ... last night was better though ... wet night & lots of slugs making so many trails on feeding station condensation that it resembles an enchanted forest! Lol
Habits have changed though, not much food being eaten ... btw, that external dish has old food to attract slugs away from their fresh stuff ... doesn't always work!!

No point in taking slugs when it can be served in its own little restaurant
