My thoughts too. From my experience, it’s winged vermin that are more of a problem then killing every fox.
Putting the battery in the wrong way....

I haven't seen any on offer??
If it makes you feel a tad better I plugged a 6v external power supply into my Sony Pro Walkman and have done for the primary drive. One careless/unthinking moment during Lockdown. The issue is not the voltage but that I had forgotten the female plug's + contact is the outer ring (normally - ) and not the male centre pin.
What makes it worse is I had made a dedicated external power supply that used a battery from a fire alarm panel and extended cable with the correct plug orientation. Used it for many years to record hundreds off-air radio broadcasts.

Do you get out much SiksaSeeker ? Round us the are the absolute killers
By winged vermin do you mean corvids ? They also get the same no tolerance policy - thats why we are awash with nesting farmland birds - roding woodcock - a few lapwing and a few greys
Perhaps I should attempt to get it repaired!Klenchy, sorry but no, it doesn't make me feel an better

You could charity me another spotter and have enough left over for some more green wood dye.

I get out plenty, that’s my experience. By the way, there was a lot more of these ground nesting birds species about years ago before foxes were hammered, there’s more to it then just vermin.
I did the same with a brand new trail cam.If it makes you feel a tad better I plugged a 6v external power supply into my Sony Pro Walkman and have done for the primary drive.

I was certain as could be that the power cable that charges my VHF radio was compatible.
Apparently not.

Aye, spraying slurry and sprays on nests doesn't help!
Yes there was - but its all about how numbers have declined and how they can defend against predators - whether thats sheer weight of numbers as per starlings or defence as lapwing do
I understand its about habitat too and have created quite a bit of that
send it back for repair ?

In the process yes. I was wanting to go out tonight but it's miserable out so .....
Be interesting to see if the device has a ‘reverse polarity protection circuit’ - in simple terms a diode in reverse designed to act as an internal fuse & protect the more expensive components from accidental damage?
Simple mistake - especially these days where many of my devices differ in their designed orientation! Hope you get sorted SD

Yes I'm sure you are correct and man it's hard to resist taking a look! It, if found can probably be bypassed if nothing else.
