You might see birds checking out the box or roosting at night or even catch an early bird starting to nest!

Today we installed our new bird box which has a colour IR camera. This year we are taking part in the Derbyshire Schools Birdcam Project. You can see the images from this bird box on the project web site.
Today we installed our new bird box which has a colour IR camera. The camera and cabling was supplied through the Derbyshire Schools Birdcam Project. Rather than disturbing the B&W camera setup in our existing nest box, Gardenature kindly sent us an additional box more suited for a colour camera (it has additional side windows covered in perspex).
The box is attached to the north east facing side of the school building, about 3m above the ground and faces a wooded area and the school pond.
After an unseasonably warm weekend, when birds were observed investigating nest boxes and acting in amorous ways, I decided it was time to brave the fleas and clean out the nest box. So gloves on and boiling water in hand, the deed was done. I have been itching ever since! The 26mm hole adaptor, fitted last year to keep the tree sparrow out, has been removed.
