This is the unofficial development blog of Bufocam, the toad tunnel camera system for monitoring the use of wildlife tunnels and culverts by amphibians.
Great stuff! Is this with the GoPro or the new RaspiCam setup?
I guess toads head for water during Feb/Mar to mate, and then fan-out in all directions once they're done. So is there a pond or something "north" of this tunnel?
Hi Steve, This is the Raspicam setup - not quite as sharp as the GoPro. Yes the breeding pond is directly 'north'. In this case north is actually west. There is also a smaller pond on the other side of the tunnel that also has breeding toads they are quite loyal to their breeding ponds.
