Seen at lunchtime today by one of the car parks, this was an exceptionally bold bunny and seems to have paid for it with that ragged ear.
Meanwhile I've got the trail cam set up outside plus the main camera perched on a tripod with its wireless trigger attached. I'm indoors. The plan is to watch for the infra red lights on the trail cam to glow, and then fire the main camera in the hope of something being there. I've no idea whether it will work as this is quite literally shooting in the dark. The camera is about 40 feet up the garden, and aimed about 15-20 feet futher ahead. I've had one 'red' moment so far and will give it a short while longer before I check it again.
This though from last night. The first part is a hedgehog, followed by a fox and then a pigeon from early this morning. They are all at the 'watering hole'.
Camera note: rabbit photographed with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens and on-board flash.

27 Mar 2009You're getting some great video with the trail cam! Interesting to see it at night and also in the daylight.

27 Mar 2009I'd never be patient enough to try something like that :insane: Good idea though, hope you catch something! Great shot of the rabbit :up:
I've just had a shock – found a big badger drinking from a puddle on a woodland lane, and it was only 7pm! :eyes: Needless to say I did not have my camera with me :rolleyes:

27 Mar 2009It's lack of patience that got me to this. If I were patient I'd sit outside for hours. Nice sighting of the badger… but no camera :insane:
