In one corner of the Wildwood is a pheasant feeder, this distributes grain in the hope of attracting these colourful birds from neighbouring estates to take up residency and so add to the already rich and abundant flora and fauna.
To monitor the effectiveness I acquired an infrared motion activated camera to observe what really happens both in the daytime and at night, and I have been delighted with the first two 24 hour sequences. Amongst the visitors were Badgers, Muntjack Deer, Fox, Squirrels, a Rabbit, a Rook and a Jay, but, no pheasants!
I am so pleased with these preliminary results that I shall be setting the camera up in various positions during the following weeks, in the mean time you can watch my early results.
