The trouble is I am really tempted to get out because I want to play with
the toys I got for Christmas. There are only a limited number of videos you
can take of the house and garden before interest wanes and I am impatient to
run some proper field tests.
The toys in question are a Bushnell Trophy Cam for remote video/photo
captures and a Canon Legria HFR16 HD camcorder. The Bushnell has proved
excellent so far - dumped in the garden it just automatically grabs videos
or photos of anything that triggers the I/R beam. I left it out yesterday
afternoon and it recorded 84 twenty second videos. Most were of curious
pigeons and starlings but it also picked up a Dunnock, Blackbirds,
Chaffinches, Goldfinches and the neighbour's Burmese cat (grrrr).. Night
images/videos look odd as they are in the I/R spectrum but it still shows
detail out to about 200ft away.

I don't remember getting frequently inedible plastic mattresses served up
for tea, but tea did in fact often make me sweat!
Glad you're on the mend John. you could try Snaefell next week for a
practice run...
