DEER AND BADGERS

This is a short video that I have recorded this evening 17/06/07 at about 9:45pm UK time, the camera was set up to capture activity at a Badger set in the woods where I live, but the first thing to show up was a Roe deer. The camera had just changed from colour to Infra-Red lighting hence the reflection from the deer's eyes. the Badgers and a Fox did show up very shortly after this clip was taken, which I will add after editing tomorrow. Please feel free to comment.

what camera did you use ?

Hi the camera used for this video was a Silent Witness HCD81 cctv camera, it has 18 infra-red led's built in to it, but to help the lighting I put a small 20 watt IR lamp up in the tree in the centre of the picture. you can see the light from this lamp shining in the tree at the end of the video, I recorded all these videos on a Mustek PVR H-140 mp4 player, the original recording was higher definition but I had to reduce some of the definition to fit it on youtube.

i love deer they are my favourite animals.where did you get the camara that films in the dark.

thanks for the info.. ive been playing with ir lighting both LED & halogen thats 12V with a 730nM filter the small light in my video test uses 72 leds @ 850 nM so you can still see the cherry red glow..not enough to worry the wildlife though..

This looks a lovely woodland with very good setts,clear aswell with no vegetation.What startled the deer.
