Bird box with camera.

So fascinating - loving this thread,
Jenny

 

I modified the birdy box so we could see the nest from the side rather than straight down (with a colour camera), but just for the heck of it we fitted a B/W looking down. I cannot see any difference in the colour composition. We see a pink glow when the setting sun passes the hole but that's it.

Cheers, Tony.

 

Well, we've been keeping watch for the last few days and it seems she's abandoned the nest

 

Early days Freddy , the eggs will be fine she may be having a break for a day or two plus the weather has been nasty

 

wow - how long can she leave them ? Surely they need her body heat?

No Jen , they will be ok for a while , look at Roders with his 10 eggs , she will only start siting the day before she lays the last egg so they all hatch and fledge (leave the box) at the same time

 

aaah - I understand now
thank you Spruce,

Jenny

 

@Jenny namaste

Oh Roders,this is brilliant,it looked like one was actually just breaking out of it's shell...

 

That is so beautiful to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us Roders,
Jenny

 

I have just seen another one hatch ............she eats the shell straight away, keeping the nest clean..........she is going to have to if they all hatch.

Freddie any more news on yours?

 

Fantastic and lovely to see @roders Thanks for showing us. Please keep the vid clips coming!
