Obvs I'd like to have viewable pics and video but it doesn't need to be too fancy, I'm not making a wildlife documentary! On a separate note, those who do use wildlife cameras: how long do batteries last? And can you use rechargeable batteries or does it have to be traditional ones? thanks in advance.

We did see a rabbit around our garden many months ago, but not recently. There are lots of squirrels but I doubt it’s them. There have also been two deer sightings in our street but not garden.
