The truth of the matter is, naturally, that we are dealing nature. These are wild animals and their behaviour is largely outside of my control. I prefer not to use sent or bait, but sometimes it is useful to do so.
I also depend on a cameras that tries to sense body heat and then has to wake up (trigger time) before it can take the picture. It also has to wait (recovery time) before it can take the next picture.
These are just some of the factors that influences being able to identify the animal or not. Below are some examples of pictures that are a little more difficult to identify.
Some of the animals are easier than others to take a guess at.
This is probably a Grey Squirrel.
But what is this? A bird, yes, but what species?
It seems to be some kind of Flycatcher, but which one? You really need to get a good look at the front of the bird to be sure...
And what about this? (The cat-like animal behind the rock.)
Is this a Caracal? Or is it just a house cat? I'm planning to go back to this spot with a measuring tape to see whether I can get some indication of the animal's size :)
And, lastly, I have to include the always popular over exposed flash...
This in fact is a porcupine. I know this because luckily another picture was taken as it got further away from the camera.
