Went to move it from the bird bath over to the cottage garden to monitor Speckles and when I plugged the micro USB cable into the camera connector it broke away and is now rattling around inside the camera housing – bugger.
Gave myself no chance of repairing this one!
Cleaning up around the garden shed came across this water feature that's been neglected for the last 8 years - time flies!
The special hand-made brass nozzle jet that allows for undisturbed water flow - is missing! I just made another simplified nozzle jet from a steel washer; countersunk, ground and then polished. The result is quite acceptable. See my blog link below for the 2014 project build.
During that extended hot spell Speckles spent the nights in the entry foyer and now with the cooler weather she was back in the chook shed last night. Went out to lock up and put her to bed and found her standing on the front door mat - so let her in.
Note: The electronics in these things commonly monitor the individual cells and for this one (from top) cells 2 & 5 are not being charged correctly. The batteries should come up OK with individual charging.
