I recently bought a new trail camera. A relatively expensive one (for a trail camera) as I wanted to get better images.
OS WILD 4K DS Solar Wi-Fi Trail Camera Dual sensor trail camera with stunning night imagery and video; a built-in solar panel; and high capacity lithium battery
Having set it up, last week was the first full week I had it running. Over the weekend I downloaded almost 2500 captures. And the quality is stunning compared with my old trail camera. Here are the best captures from the week; all have been fairly heavily cropped. For scale, the birdbath in the images is at most 2 meters from the camera and about 40cm in diameter.

One of our foxes; I can’t tell them apart
Staring at the back door cat flap!
Questing after buried treasure
Just to prove foxes do drink from bird baths
That was a good long drink

Yes, squirrels have to drink too

One of the local alpha male intruders, who seems to be tolerated by our three
Early morning is a god time for everyone to use the bird bath
Woodpigeon are surprisingly colourful in a pastel way
Boy Cat has a stand-off with the fox; unusual because they generally respect each other’s personal space
These images are many times better than the old trail camera produced.
