Motion detection of birds in the garden – a bit of a failure: #5from7photo

It hasn’t been a good week for capturing photos of birds in the garden using my motion detection rig. One of the biggest problems is that they are not visiting the garden very much – I suspect that there is a plentiful supply of food from feeders in many of the neighbouring gardens.

Not only that, most of the photos that the rig did take were of the rear of the birds. So here are a selection of the failures:

The rear end of a pigeon using the feeder
Another rear view of the pigeon by the feeder
We can see the face of the pigeon this time, pity the body isn’t complete!
Another rear view. This time I have used a tree branch rather than timber for the perch.
A successful image of a bird this time but the background doesn’t do it justice

Ah well, some lessons learn here. I will try a different arrangement this week.
