With summer here, it feels like it is time to get outdoors again and do some exploring. Going out into the country and enjoying the beauty that is all around us. Enjoy relaxing by a small stream watching the water ripple over the rocks as it meanders under the bridge and carries on its long journey to wherever.

While you are sitting there and if you are, still and quiet, enough you might have one of the greatest privileges to be a part of nature. The part where the animals come out of their hiding and go about their business, but you have to be very still and very quiet to even have a chance of that.

In the wild, animals have an inbuilt aversion to all things to do with man. They seem to be able to sense when people are around and when they disappear. Where five minutes before was a thriving animal community suddenly becomes a deserted field when men set foot there. However, it would be nice just to sit and watch them.

Animals have their own highways through the country. We often miss them simply because we are not looking. When we do find the highways, it would take so long for them to come back that we just do not have the time anymore. Every animal and every human leaves some type of evidence that shows they were there. However, some trails become invisible by time, and overgrowth of bushes and trees.

Now, with the new technology of the spy camera it is possible to overcome all this with the latest wildlife camera on the market. It is possible to capture so many exciting behaviors that wildlife animals displays when no one else is around. These cameras can be put in the most obvious places, but hidden well out the way.

They are built using the same technology as the spy camera. These things are compact and tend to have a very long battery life, which is good because some of the little animals we might want to photo can hide for days at a time.

Some animals are special. We know they are there, but they are so rare that very few are even photographed. For me growing up, it was the badger. I always wanted to see one, I even had an idea to find a badger sett, but they are nocturnal creatures and there is no way I was able to go out at night to see it. Therefore, I never got the chance.

However, with the wildlife camera that has all changed, because once you find the sett all you do need to do is put the camera there and turn it on. Many of them are motion activated, so they will conserve their power until something trips the sensor at the front and then it will take the picture. This is a great way to get pictures without frightening away the animals or getting into harms way.

Actually, worldwide there has been a battle on how to save many endangered species and some of them were causing quite a few scratched heads, as it seems that nothing the conservationists try make any difference. Along came the wildlife spy camera, small enough to be place into a nest without disturbing the occupants. For some species, it was a real revelation.

In New Zealand, where the battle was on to save the brown kiwi the conservationists were horrified to see that stoats and possums were getting in and killing the young, this had brought the brown kiwi to the brink of extinction.

Because of what the wildlife spy camera showed, extra precautions were put in places that have resulted in saving the Kiwi from two dangerous predators. Now everyone can enjoy those little birds, and we will have them for generations to come.

Not all of us are working on conservation projects though. Some of us just want to enjoy what we see around us, and to have something to teach our kids about the nature around us.

One of the amazing things about the cameras is that they are not just taking pictures as we see them, but they can have filters to see infra red or ultra violet. Most insects see the world through ultra violet. If you think a flower is beautiful normally, you should try using a UV filter. It lights up like the landing lights of a helipad.

Nature is magical. Of that there is no doubt, but as humans we often miss so much of it, with a good quality wildlife camera you have the chance to discover some of that magic for yourself. They will show let you see just how special nature really is. This is a great learning experience for anyone who wants a real look into the wildlife of animals and how they live. So why not be a fly on the wall and see what animals get up to when you are not around.
