Hi Neil, Thanks for reply! :)
As mentioned motion detection software is not appropiate for this, since it detects motion ... that is: The bird/s are already "in sight"...add the reaction time between "bird is there" and "motion detection has recognized that there is a bird" and all the false alarms if a bee is flying through the video or a distant bird flies through but does not land etc... I will try the tee-trick (by the way I like tea... ;) and see, what happens. Thanks again for your help! Have a nice weekend!
