A rainy wet Sunday morning… What better time to do some work on the website so I decided on the addition of a photo gallery and a chat channel.
Within the gallery I will place photographs that I have taken in and around the garden as-well as some stills that I have pulled from the video feeds.
Some good action and behaviour shots have been captured on the video feeds, all I need to do now is sift through them and over time add them to the gallery.

Ok I have restored the feeds. I have back stepped / reinstalled the software and all seems to be fine. If you cannot access the feeds please email me nigel@ukgardenwildlife.co.uk

Software upgrade now complete…

Due to a failed software upgrade the console feeds will be down whilst I reinstall and back step the software.
Please bare with me whilst I reinstall.

Ok the software upgrade has now been completed with all the bugs ironed out… Just need to tweak the capture levels on the cameras…

I have just recently changed ISP. The new ISP uses dynamic IP addresses; this means i have had to set up dynamic DNS hostname to enable the links to the website PC.
I apologise if links to the camera feeds are a little hit and miss at the moment the same goes for the live video /audio feed.
This is because new ADSL connections require a 10 day stabilisation period. The speed of the connection varies and drop outs can occur. Each time it drops out the dynamic DNS has to pick up the new IP address and re-route to the website PC.

Anyway enough techie stuff… In a nut shell it should all be back to normal soon.

I now have the ability to add an extra 4 camera feeds to the website. Over the next few days I will fit the hardware to the PC and add some extra cameras.
The two additional cameras so far will be at a squirrel feeder and in a bird box.

There is a squirrel that walks long the garden fence every now and then, as soon as it gets wind of the food I’m hoping that it will stop by and have a regular snack.

Well a few changes here and there… I have up dated the website with the inclusion of a live streaming audio video feed on the links page. I have also added a video page; here you can see videos of the garden critters.

Now the sad news… The builders have started on the neighbour’s extension. This initially frightened away both of the Hogs that were staying in the boxes… Fortunately we now have one resident, not sure if it will stay for hibernation as the building work is very noisy during the day.

Just down the road there was a squashed hog… This coincided with the beginning of the building work… Hope this wasn’t one of the resident hogs.

The wood mice are now regular visitors to the feeding station; this has also created cat attention. So I have made a few modifications to the feeding area with just enough room for the hogs to enter… The wood mice should hopefully now be safe.
