In London the busiest birds in our garden are the four magpies, a couple of parakeets, the occasional robin, some wood pigeons or collared doves, and a very busy woodpecker, pecking away, plus a blue jay.
In Singapore, we recorded a bird singing on a balcony. We set the camera up on a tripod, focused on the balcony railing. At first we were too far away to get the bird in focus and the song loud enough to hear. We gradually moved the camera nearer and nearer.
We do have a remote clicker to operate the clicker. But it is designed to take you own photo or yourself with a group and the camera facing you. No good for the camera facing away from you.
We looked online to see cameras you can set up.
In Singapore we have always had plenty of birds. Singapore is a garden city. The palm trees and high trees abound, keeping birds way above the ground. Birds can fly from balcony to balcony.
Cats
What about cats? Yes, there are cats. If you have a balcony, you can only keep cats if the balcony is copletely railed so the cats cannot jump over.
