These cameras are located outside Heligan's Wildlife Centre. The variety of woodland and farmland birds attracted to the feeders has increased over the years to include goldfinches, yellowhammers, siskins and bramblings - plus the usual common and garden species you'd expect to see. We've also included some still images taken using a Canon 10D to give you a flavour of what's about at Heligan. Images from some of these cameras are also streamed from Heligan directly onto the BBC Springwatch website - click here to view our live stream.

Feeder Camera Facts:
Camera 1 is a colour only camera focused on a nyjer seed feeder. Goldfinches are the main visitors although greenfinches are seen too. Blue tits and great tits will try to eat the nyjer seeds but their beak shapes make it very difficult to crack open the seed.

Camera 2 is a close up view of a small bird table set low down to attract robins and other ground feeding birds. The feed we use is specially for softbill birds and contains fruit. You'll spot a jackdaw on camera from time to time - almost filling the whole picture!

Camera 3 is focussed on an area of ground where we feed a softbill seed mix in the day that attracts many different bird species. At night we feed peanuts to attract foxes and badgers. To view this camera at night click on the mammal cameras tab at the top of this page.
