Birdbox 2018
Unfortunately, the old Birdbox camera has failed, so Paul has built a brand new Birdbox complete with a new HD colour camera for even more stunning footage.
When Paul went to remove the old Box, he found that our Bluetits had already built a new nest and so we have taken the decision to leave the old Box in place.
This, of course, means that we are unable to bring you any live views at the moment, however, once the chicks have flown, we will mount the new box, possibly in time for a second brood this year, and get the new camera on line & available.
