I have been trying for some time to attract a squirrel with hazelnuts. A squirrel feeding station didn’t work, and I’m not sure if it was because it was in the wrong place or if the little animal just couldn’t figure out the feeder.
For the past few days, I have simply been scattering hazelnuts on the ground in various spots. Most of them have now disappeared. However, I suspect the theft might be happening at night. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be a squirrel. Since I don’t want to unintentionally attract rats, martens, or who knows what else, my question is: who could it be? Does anyone here have a wildlife camera?
I would be interested in one for other reasons too, but the models that actually perform well according to tests cost at least 120 EUR. I wasn’t planning on spending that much.

@Mycraft For the IP camera, I would first need to install a power connection. And the battery-powered versions cost just as much as a trail camera. Or am I misunderstanding something?
@guckuck2 The trail cameras around 50 EUR get poor reviews across the board.
I could simply stop leaving nuts out, but by now I am actually curious who is stealing them. With rats, however, the fun stops very quickly...
