Aldi have bought back their excellent, and at $129 excellent value, Maginon wildlife cameras. If you want one be quick because they will sell out fast.
We have been using two of an older version of these cameras for a couple of years now with excellent results. This new one is of course better with higher resolution video and sound recording. Sound recording would be great at the moment when we are capturing video of the very shy Noisy Pitta living in Firefly Gully. Marshal can hear its call but our camera does not handle sound.
The only issue we have found with these cameras is the intensity of the infrared leds used for video. I have fixed this with masking tape covering two thirds of the leds to reduce the intensity and make the camera less noticeable to our Squirrel Gliders.
See some samples:

I apologise,I recently asked Michael (Fox) to recommend a bush to be used as a security hedge backing on to Roly Chapman reserve since the bikeway was built. I’m sure he kindly recommended a spiky fast growing bush with an appropriate spiky security name but I appear to have lost the reply. Any ideas please?ThanksBlair

Quite a beautiful website. I built mine and i was looking for some design ideas and your website gave me some. Did you develop the website alone?
