Trail Cameras

GardePro A3 Wildlife Camera – currently £62.99 on Amazon.

There’s a vast range of trail cameras but if you’re looking for a good beginner camera at an affordable price then the GardePro A3 Wildlife Camera is ideal. Fitted with 110ft infrared, it is also Waterproof, and motion activated. There’s a rechargeable battery and you can use a standard SD card for storage max 128GB (not included). A great bit of kit capable of capturing something really fascinating.

Bird Feeder Cameras

Wired Bird Feeder Camera System £78.99

The best cameras will be wired so require an outside electricity source. It’s possible to use a wireless Blink camera from Amazon and place it in a custom-built bird feeder box also available from Amazon. But for first class images and sound I like the wired birdfeeder from UK Wildlife Cameras, capable of giving stunning closeup footage and being sympathetic to its surroundings –currently available at £78.99

Nesting Box Cameras

Wifi Bird Box Camera System – from £179.99
