Default Trail cameras

Old man's 70th coming up soon and he loves his garden wildlife, so thought i would get him one of these trail/security cameras. The crazy old git has bird houses, baths, 10's of different types of feeders and a hogitat for the now mutated and fat hedgehogs!

So i need some ideas on decent trail cameras that won't break the bank, a budget of say around the £150-200 mark. I've had a look but finding it difficult to find one which has all the features i would like out of it. Which are decent image/video quality (especially at night) no glow (i.e. IR flash), SD card storage etc

Any ideas on what's best for the buck out there?

Bio the bushnell ones I would go with, ring nhbs.com. And get an angle on what's best, I think if you stretch budget to 250 270 you'll get there best unit, but ask first ok.

Some have IR etc but glow you should get the blacked out IR etc... And by the looks some run for over a year on battery, less hassle.

There are cheaper but he's ya dad, treat him
