There are now loads of movement-activated camera/recorders marketed specifically for wildlife & hunting- usually called 'trail cameras'. 

I've never used any, so don't know if they'd trigger on anything as small as a lizard, though...

Just breezin' through.....

I use a self-contained camera with SD card, which triggers on movement detection. Compact and surprisingly effective!

The one I use is the Vosonic Looker, but I bet technology have marched onwards and there is better kit available nowadays.

Leopard Frogs by the looks of them Paul, not sure which species as there are several of them.

Hawley,

What type of frogs are those? (apart from Hungry Frogs!)

Cheers

Hopefully they were fed some real worms later on Smile

That's a brilliant clip, talk about the shoe being on the other foot!!

The wrens are as much part of life in the wildlife garden as the lizards. Log piles, old tyres, willow brash, always a wren hopping about in there doing what they do. We've had them nest too in the past. Been a fantastic year for birds locally, so many young and adults around after the great summer.

I've been talking to the camera supplier for Springwatch Chris, could be that when the cams go live in the spring we'll be watching in ultra high definition Thumbs Up
