We saw it through the window, lurking at the back of the garden. Once again a photo proved beyond me; but I have developed a plan, the first stage of which was to order one of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hahnel.ie\/index.cfm?page=dslrremotecontrols&amp;id=35&amp;pId=35\" target=\"_blank\">these<\/a>. It will let me set up the camera outside, and then trigger it from inside the house over a wireless frequency. That&#39;s the idea anyway, and I should be able to try it out later in the week.
