My
Raspberry Pi at the bottom of the garden is now monitoring an unmodified XBox webcam pointing at a fence break, rather than the
mice visiting the compost heap. This uses the
Motion software to hopefully catch anything walking past - like the pheasants I've seen using this route.

While most of the images so far have been of pheasants, there were a few surprises too.

| Action shot! A sparrow? | Horses - wasn't expecting that! |

Here's a shot of the
compost-cam and the replacement XBox trail-cam with the crude wooden shelter I built to keep off the worst of the weather. The camera is connected to my
Raspberry Pi in the garden running Motion, monitoring a second camera in a bird box.

Update: Here's a
photo round up for the following two months.
Nice!
