Bird Box with Webcam
In 2007 we were given a Bird Box with a build in colour camera and last spring we had 8 chicks grow and leave the nest. It was great to watch and a bit worrying when the chicks jumped out before they could fly - I chased after them around the garden and put them back in a few times, but they just jumped out again! Anyway, today I have put the bird box back up, and hope to set up a webcam if we get some new chicks this year.
