Find everything you need here to make your own My Naturewatch Camera. They are fun and simple (no soldering required!), take less than an hour to make and inexpensive at about £35.

My Naturewatch Cameras are the first of several DIY devices we will be making available. We have also designed an RFID bird freader that we are trialling with local communities — if you are an interested ornithologist or bird ringer we’d love to hear from you! We have a blog that documents different ways to use your camera as well as updates from the project.

Finally we’d love your comments and to hear what you do with any devices you make.
