MY WEBCAM ... The view from my camera on our patio looking North East over the Atlantic

It works. Had to wait 'til a bird flew by for sure. I just cut and pasted it.
 

Nice little set up Grayson... I have a similar bird feeding station but being inland I envy your view of the sea even if it is a grey day today...it's sunny here BTW...and it's supposed to be hot and sunny tomorrow so I'll be able to view your feeding station more clearly tomorrow..


here's mine...but there's also a water feeding tube just out of shot as well...

yes Camper , well spotted, yes we do get Goldfinches here but not many ... they are about the only birds that eat the Niger seeds. We have 3 wild bird seed tubes, plus a nut one which the blue-tits prefer, and a water tube... and they need refilling every 4 or 5 days... but the niger seed tube can go weeks before it needs filling

Very good ... hope it's sunny soon ... Dawn is a good time to watch the birds, at their first feed of the day. The cam is on 24/7.

Yes the feeding station is pretty much full of birds here between 6 and 7am...I use to watch them while I was getting ready for work, but I retired 7 weeks ago, so I'm not always around at 6am now..but definitely it's busy at Dawn as you say..

Apparently it's going to be in the 80's tomorrow, so hopefully we'll get some sun as well..the last 2 days have been grey and dull...
 
Very interesting viewing Greyson, I hope you will pop out and do a dance routine for us sometime

...........was it easy to set up?
 
Hi ... no, not easy to set up because of potential thieves taking the camera I built a cage around it and mounted it high on the outside wall next to a burglar alarm. As for wiring I ran the two cables through an air vent to save drilling through the brick wall ... one cable is from the transformer plug for the low voltage supply the other cable is an Ethernet cable that connects the video footage to my router ... Also unless you want the expense of hosting your own website in order to make it view-able you need to buy your camera from a company that provides hosting for a low fee (£03.00 a month) is what I pay.
If you are in the UK. I would recommend
'sales@camsecure.co.uk '
also they linked their site to my router which was complicated and they did it for free - remotely from their end.
Make sure if you buy a camera (mine was only £160.00) that they run a webcam hosting service and free back up assistance and advice over the phone ... Hope that helps ...
