I decided to upgrade the camera I use for my photograph-birds-in-my-garden project. Instead of using a smartphone, I invested in the entry-level Nikon D3500 DSLR camera. The quality of the pictures are of course very much improved 🙂
New gear!

A simple weather station
I decided to build a Raspberry Pi based weather station inspired of how other people did this. The items used to build the station was:
- Raspberry Pi 4
- BME280 Temperature Humidity Pressure Sensor
- DS18B20 Temperature sensor
- 5V 4A 20W Switching Power Supply
- Python 2.7
- Adafruit Python libraries for BME280
- MySQL Python Connector
Everything is mounted outdoors in a natural ventilated IP66 rated case as seen (without the lid) below:
The weather data collected are published on this site here
