It's a lot better than the previous one and the pictures are a lot clearer and it's no harder to set up so all good.
One big bonus is it can take 700+ mixed pictures and 10 second videos on the supplied memory card where as old one could only do 350 with a 4G card that we had to buy extra.

Can you provide a link to it? I searched for Wildkamera PH280 and didn't find anything. (May just be me being an idiot)

Long-staying male Blackcap filling his boots on sunflower hearts feeder just now.
Two pics from last Friday: male(? alleged to have longer beak than female) European Goldfinch took to new niger seed feeder within 2 or 3 days.

Likewise. Several years back loads and loads on sunflower hearts feeders but not seen one for a few years. Their decline corresponded to neighbours getting 3 cats all of whom are intensive hunters.
Sad.
Nearby they cut our woods down for 1200 houses. Before that we got GFs, GSW, Siskins...... lots of species we no longer see.

Fox yoga poses last night. Downward dog?
Is there such a thing as upward dog?
Finally balance on three legs while peeing on the plant.

Got home yesterday just in time to hear next doors hen calling madly and the ravens wheeling in from the trees. Nipped round there sharpish just in time to stop a Buzzard kill the best hen. Got within a metre of her as she was not inclined to move. Hen survived, but has flashbacks. 
Looked out this morning and Sparrow hawk sat on the gate. I wonder if the wet weather has been affecting them.

We’ve had our sparrowhawk a lot this week. It’s making its way through goldfinch and great tits at the moment. While out on the bike today saw several buzzards and a marsh harrier. You may be right that the rain has meant they have had to work longer hours.

My impression in recent years is that flooding has a big effect on hunting territories. When we had big floods back in - what? 2022 was it? - I suddenly started seeing Barn Owls on my commute. Since then I've been looking out for similar changes*.Got home yesterday just in time to hear next doors hen calling madly and the ravens wheeling in from the trees.

Enjoy it! Hopefully the birds-of-prey arent' distressed long-term.
*Might be a conincidence but on Friday evening I saw my first starling murmuration on my local patch (I know there is a regular site about 10 miles away).
