This is fun project to create small birdhouse, attached with motion sensor and cam. When there is motion detected, the cam shoots a picture and transmits it via telegram.
When there is continuous movement, pictures are taken every few seconds (depends on the hardware) until there is no further movement within 10s. After that, the images are converted via imagemagick to an animated gif and transmitted once to every subscriber.
