Too many photos of nothing

My camera is taking dozens and dozens of photos of nothing.  No obvious triggers.

Has anyone had this problem and been able to solve it?

Thank you

  Is there a T or M on the bottom of the picture on the info strip? Have you requested a few videos to see if maybe it's birds flying through or maybe something blowing. If you see wierd shadows on the edges of the videos it could also be ants. Does this happen all day and night or only at certain times?

  There is an M on the info strip.  Occasionally I will see an insect cross the screen but those I understand.

  There is just nothing, no explanation for hundreds of photos. The camera is mounted on a pole about 12', pointed slightly downward. I am not sure about requesting videos or exactly how to do that but I will try to.

  Please set your camera to take photo + video. You can use the lower resolution setting and just 5 seconds for this. The request a couple of videos.
  
  Also, can you please post a couple of the photos so we can see what your set looks like. We may see something that may explain what’s happening. 

  What sensitivity are you using?

  Could wind be shaking the 12 foot pole? That's unusually high. Any movement can cause the camera to be snap happy.
