This is the project I am planning to do with my son as he's getting interested in computers and loves nature. The rough aims are -

> Rasp Pi + Camera/PIR to photograph birds > Connect to internet and post to wp, twitter and instagram

The final aim is to add an AI component to see if we can detect birds and keep a count

Do you have hummingbirds in your area? You could setup a high fps camera pointed at hummingbird feeder. Hummingbirds aren't afraid to approach a feeder placed just outside the window of a house.

no - starlings and sea gulls mainly - nothing exciting

Sea gulls then. They aggressively go after food with little regard for their safety. They’re like rats with wings.

"Rats with wings" - you mean pigeons?

Fun fact, they are called rock doves.
