I’m finding it a bit hit and miss with the trail camera. Often the action seems to be happening out of view, or the clip is just too short to capture the interesting bit, or there’s nothing, because the action happened so quickly. This morning’s haul is mostly the pigeons again, which I haven’t bothered to upload, and a cat having a drink.
I’d moved the camera yesterday to what I thought might be a good vantage point to capture visitors but set the angle too high to see anything happening on the water, hence the cat is disappearing out of the frame at the bottom. It seems to be drinking though, not eating my tadpoles and froglets, which is good to see.
I was disappointed to see the mistake I’d made with the camera angle until I realised that the error had captured a different visitor. No video (the action happened so briefly) but three stills as evidence.

Thanks for sharing your trail camera experience! I’m glad to see that the cat was just drinking and not eating your tadpoles and froglets. It’s amazing that the camera was able to capture the moment even though the action happened so quickly. It definitely shows how powerful and useful trail cameras can be! It’s great that you were able to get three stills as evidence of the cat drinking. Thanks for sharing this post and your experience!

Thanks catreign. Yes, the stills have proved to be more useful that the video, apart from the nutty pigeon ones which are great fun. I think the pigeon is a thwarted thespian determined to break into film!
