Pondcam is up and
running, with the added delight of having lights for night time viewing. In
fact they tend t o give a better image than the one you get in the daytime and
at the moment it is all a bit rubbish. Since the cheap little cams we are using
only have manual focus (which you cannot change once the enclosure is sealed up
they effectively have a fixed distance. So I will need to do a little gardening,
and get in there with some scissors. I remember that last year I used a glass
tank to create a clear space between the cam and the subject, but since the focussed
distance is only 50mm from the camera this isn’t practical. Maybe I should
have another go with the glass tank as the camera on that side of the pond?
On the up side, whilst moving some of the weed out of the
way (to little effect it must be said) I disturbed a frog. It disappeared into
the depths but it is the first of the year. Spring is in the air…

Creating the meadow
- This is a record of the first part of the project, between March and September 2005 when we did the groundwork for the meadow. Most of the relevant details about the process are included in the comments for each photo so I haven't repeated it elsewhere.
