Teething Problems


Friday was another fine day with plenty of sunshine and mild. 

It was a day for connecting up all the bits and bobs of our bird box cam and seeing if we could manage an image to check on the comings and goings of our anticipated nest box family. Sure enough without too much of a fuss an image appeared of the inside of our new nest box. Now our software only captures images when movement takes place. This is fantastic as it avoids having hours of blank video to look through to check for visitors. An old garden cane pushed through the entrance hole to the next box confirmed that any movement would be captured. All we had to do now was hope for some visitors.
This morning I planned to post a picture of our empty pristine new nest box. Fortunately and much to my surprise as I started trying to locate a suitable image on my computer this blue tit popped into the nest box just in time. So instead of an empty nest box I've posted a picture of the first blue tit checking out a new detached property for its family.

  3. That's brilliant. I hope the nest box is to it's satisfaction and it moves in pronto. I don't think I'd get any jobs done if I had one of those, I'd be too busy checking out all the action.

  4. Oh lovely. I'm sure Mr & Mrs Blue Tit are going to love it.

  5. Hi Jo
    I must admit it is a bit of a distraction - a good one hough.

    Hi Liz
    I wish I knew how to convince them.
