Endoscopy and the living otter holt.
Sunrise: 06.07 Sunset: 06.25
I took an endoscope to the marsh with me today; it uses WiFi to send still and video images to my iPhone. My plan was to feed the 8 mm diameter snake (a meter long flexible tube with a camera and a six LED spotlight squeezed into its business end) through the side of the living otter holt and on into the living chamber. It wasn’t long before I was regretting not having fitted a small bore plastic tube through the side of the holt first.
I painstakingly worked the snake through the mass of soil and willow weaving, towards the pitch darkness of the living chamber. A pair of eyes suddenly appeared on my iphone screen! Unfortunately, the animal they belonged to wouldn’t stay still long enough for me to identify it. . . .
Can you try to run some hollow cable/tubing into the holt when the otters are out?
Yes, Sarah. I will insert a plastic tube through the holt wall.
Awesome! Really hope they’ll get used to the light and you can get some good footage 🙂
Maybe the ninja rabbit is living in the otter holt.
