Thank you. We are following botanical advice to just leave it alone, and it could work for you also. Do you have patches of bush for seed sources nearby? If you look up Hinewai on Banks Peninsula you'll get more info on the set-and-forget approach. Yeah, we are a bit lucky with weeds. Tordon XT is your friend- break out the big cheque book tho! Gorse can be an OK nursery crop but it does alter the structure of/slows the succession of the forest that eventually comes through.

@@FaunaRecoveryNewZealand Right, thanks. Just watched your other video on the rat incursion. So you don't live on the island?

Manuka will beat gorse everytime

@@uglydug-i6b yeah but not around the edges. Or in wetlands. And so, if you have a farm with lots of small patches of bush and/or wetlands, you either live with a lot of it (and allowing it to spread into pasture), or remove it.

You bet. There's a whole field of discussion about whether it's better to plant or to let nature take its course. I'm in the latter camp!

Much appreciated!

Thanks Daniel. At least the robin did not jump on my head and try to pull out my hair, which has happened at that site in the past.

Hi Andy- they really only fed in the hour or so before dawn and after dusk. The adult robin are normally the second bird to start singing in the morning after the bellbirds, which are a great alarm clock. I went through 2500 30 second videos to compile this clip and I have probably used a disproportionate number of night videos as they were so much sharper with the separate lens dedicated to IR illumination. The colour videos in low light were pretty noisy so mostly you only see colour ones in the middle of the day. That said, the trail camera is still a good tool and for its size and low power consumption is impressive.

Indeed!
