I have created a ukgardenwildlife YouTube Channel and I’m in the process of moving all of the original videos over along with some new ones.
Originally I used Google videos but you can no longer upload to that service. So rather than keep embedding videos into ever growing web pages I decide to make a dedicated YouTube channel where all of the videos can be found in one place.
This also enables people to subscribe and comment on the videos…

So please feel free to subscribe to the channel and leave your comments..

Yesterday whilst carrying out some maintenance on the cams and feeds the Fox cam became faulty. The wires literally fell out of the back of the cam.
Until I repair or can get a new Fox Cam I have lashed together and old IR cam and placed it in a less exposed area from the elements.
The view from the cam is at a higher angle and looks down on the feeding area.

I think this may be a little too high.. Any comments? Drop me a mail.

I have added a few more videos to the website as well as a few other text changes. I have received an email telling me that the changes can’t be seen.

If this is the case please right mouse click on the page and click reload or refresh depending on which browser you are using.

I have had a few emails making me aware that the cams are sometimes down.
I have rectified this by turning windows automatic updates to manual install rather than automatic install.
The machine was rebooting in the early hours every time an update was downloaded and installed.

If anyone still has problems accessing the cams please drop me a mail.

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

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.
