    My £67 Apeman trail camera "sees everything."

    I've also an adapter to run it on mains electricity to save the battey use.
    I can site it on either the garage or the shed. Or without the lead anywhere in the garden, I've a little stand to which I can attach it.
    It takes still photos, or a photo and a 13sec video. It takes a normal colour photo or video when there's enough light, or infra-red ones when it's dark.
    At the moment it's covering the patio to check when our hedgehog comes out of its house for the first time this year. At the moment it's only picking up birds and the squirrel during the day pesky cats in the middle of the night.

    Here's one from last year "when he was going to run away and join the hedgehog circus as a tightrope walker."

    Depending on the activity the camera will have around a couple of hundred photos and videos in a 24 hour period. It's very reliable.

    I've started to collect fallen leaves to go in the back garden where the 3 hedgehog houses are. Not bought ones, ones that we made out of bricks and roof tiles and a 5inch pipe for the entrance.

    Yes will do, they're still coming to feed but don't eat so much.
