Heroes Not Zombies

I got a Christmas present of a bird feeder with integrated solar powered camera. It was a bit fiddly to get going, but I persevered and am glad I did. It connects to an app on your phone where you can either watch live what the camera can see, or you can scroll back through the events where motion triggered a short video and capture some stills from there.

So far the blue tits and robins are the commonest visitors, and I’ve been able too see many short clips of them.

I really enjoy my encounters with the birds in my garden. Yesterday I mentioned how another app I have on my phone recognises birdsongs and told me that there were seven different species all singing at the same time.

So, these are two technologies I never knew existed, and probably, actually didn’t exist until pretty recently, which are enhancing my daily life.

How about you? Have you been discovering any technologies which make an every day a better day?
