Springwatch in Ossett

Monday wasn't a bad day again with the weather almost a repeat of Sunday except that we didn’t get any early morning rain.

Our new wired bird box camera is now up and running and whilst a few tweaks are still required to improve video production I’m pleased with the way it’s working. I thought it was a bit of a shame not to make use of our old nest box. It might be provide a perfect residence for a pair of our many blue tit visitors to the garden. I gave a little thought to where it could be placed so that I could still make use of the wireless camera. The end result is two bird boxes both fitted with cameras.

The software for this camera doesn't have any sophisticated motion detection software but we will still be able to grab pictures and video if any birds take up residence. I do know that a blue tit had a very quick inspection immediately after the box was erected. I have no idea if it’s been back or any other prospective residents have made a visited since.

I might have to turn my attention back to getting some gardening done now.
