Wild Bird Colony Added To Exhibits at Scottish Aquarium

The Macduff Marine Aquarium is introducing a new exhibit:  A virtual Gannet Colony.  Real time images from a Gannet colony located 14 K from the aquarium in the newly created Troup Head Reserve.  The camera is solar and wind powerd and beams live footage and potentially sound directly to an aerial located on top of the aquarium.



To me this makes a lot of sense.  Of all the possible destinations for a camera, a seabird colony strikes me as perhaps the most predictable in terms of activity level, density of animals etc.



Does anyone have any experience deploying camera based exhibits?



Note: The Troup Head Colony is mainland Scotland's only gannet colony.
