No problem, there is a solution is at hand. They have some spare time enjoying their home. Many enjoy their garden. Have you considered the following.

• Nest box camera from £58.95 – A wonderful plug in and play system that allows them to watch birds 24/7. It is non technical and gives them hours of enjoyment.
• Bird camera feeder from £59.95 – Outside the nesting season, they can watch birds feed, play and communicate every day.
• Wildlife camera from £68.95 – They can enjoy the birds on their feeding station during the day and see what animals visit their garden at night.

Recent bird number reports from the BTO state that out of 247 species, Forty species are red-listed, 121 are amber-listed and 86 are green-listed. One of the best ways to help increase the green listed species is create a more bird friendly habitat. Plant bird friendly plants and trees that give cover and food in Spring. Add bird nest boxes to help them reproduce. Also add bird feeders and bird bath to help them survive through the harsher climates.

Why not give a perfect garden gift like a camera bird box and camera bird feeder. This will allow your family and friends to enjoy the birds as well as help attract and increase numbers. Either way, everyone has a merry Christmas and beyond.

Cameras used to learn about birds

There is so much we know and don’t know about birds. Biology and ornithology experts are using cameras to film nest, analysing how they eat, move, breed and raise their brood. Even with a small bird box camera, you will be able to monitor how a bird lives, communicates, breeds and more. If you look closely and over a period of time, you will see how intelligent they are.

We have many research institutions using our cameras to monitor birds.  They are doing valuable research on birds and bird behaviour. By understanding birds, they can help preserve numbers as well understand how they live and survive.

We are currently supporting projects for:
World wildlife fund
University of Oxford
University of Sydney
Max Plank Institute
World Parrot Trust

I’m a celebrity get me out of here

The best part of the show are the little insect clips between the action. Check them out. They are really funny.

Wildlife cameras are a good way to film insects. Why not connect it to a PC and only record insects when they move.

Why are birds fat?

Apparently birds are fat for a reason. They need the food to survive the harsher environments of winter. Keeping warm throughout the day requires a lot of energy. This energy has to come from the body mass it stores. It is said that heavier birds tend to last the winter as they tend to have more reserve to burn.

• Deer - In autumn they are ready to mate and will roam to find a mate
• Wild boar - Boar are increasing in numbers and are wonderful to watch when looking for food
• Hedgehogs - Nocturnal creatures often very mobile and looking for foot and suitable habitats
  
• Otters - Elusive and playful nocturnal animals, often seen near waterways
• Foxes - Opportunist animals, always on the hunt for small creatures and mammals
• Owls - Often seen hunting on the edge of woodland

Autumn is a great time for watching wildlife. You will be very surprised what you find lurking around in your garden. Grab a camera and see what you can find.

Look out for hedgehogs on bonfire night

Bonfire night is fast approaching. This is a ideal time to enjoy fireworks and bonfire on a cold November the 5th night. However, don't forget hedgehogs too.

Hedgehogs are currently suffering a loss in numbers due to a poor habitat. As a result, they have been added to all major conservation lists. At this time of year, hedgehogs are looking for wonderful places to hibernate. A bonfire is seen as an ideal location which is a big danger. Follow these steps to help hedgehogs:

• Only build a bonfire on November the 5th to minimise any nest building.
• Search throughout for any wildlife.
• Re-home any hedgehogs and wildlife to new areas. Try using a hedgehog home for this.

Hedgehogs are friendly little animals and are ideal pest killers in the garden. Their numbers are diminishing, but with everyones help we can help improve numbers as well as continue to enjoy bonfire night
