I am currently testing a Moultrie I-40 camera loaned to me by Dick Raynor of the Loch Ness Investigation website. It is currently placed on a small river in the south of Kintyre, Scotland, overlooking a shallow part of the river. (Although thanks to the rain over the last week or so, this spot is now under several feet of water as the second short video shows.)
I've never tried placing a camera on a river before, so I was interested to see if the movement of the river would actually give false trigger readings. Happily this has not been the case.
On checking the camera today, there were two interesting videos. The first is of a young Roe Deer Buck, walking across the river. The other of a duck and her two ducklings floating by on the currently fast running water. According to the owners of the land where the camera is placed this duck actually had four ducklings orginally, as of today they inform me, she still has the two surviving youngsters.
The first video was taken at 8:38am on the 29th June 2010, and the second at 4:13pm on the 4th of July 2010.
Note the change in the height of the river in the few days between the video clips.
