I live in the countryside in the UK, and we get plenty of feathered visitors in the garden.
Setting up the FeatherSnap Scout is simple.
The fiddliest part of setting the feeder up was strapping it to a tree.

For another, larger tree, I wrapped the strap once and the setup was equally secure.
I repositioned the camera where it would get more sunlight on sunny days, and the battery life increased.
FeatherSnap says the bird feeder camera has a -20F to 130F / -29C to 54.4C operating temperature.
Such extremes have never been recorded where I live, but the gear has worked flawlessly in freezing temperatures.
That image size is pretty modest, but so far as bird feeder cameras go, it’s respectable.
In addition to photo downloads, you’re free to request the video captured by the camera.
Video downloads are only available with the paid-for subscription.
The camera’s live feed is another way to enjoy feeder’s visitors in real time.
Should you buy the FeatherSnap Scout bird feeder camera?
My test was conducted in the UK over cold winter months, when days were short and sunlight limited.
