I hope you are all enjoying the live
streaming of the now refurbished feeder cam
The mealworm feeder is also now on live
streaming. I only put a few mealworms in at a time. When the chicks
hatch I will of course increase the supply from our own home grown
batch, good quantity this year.
Bird Box 2 is no longer in use by a
roosting bird, but a bird still visits now and again
In this picture you can see the bird is
cleaning out the box of droppings
This is a video of the bird cleaning out
the box of droppings.
The same thing is happening in the other bird
box
Watch this amazing video of one piece of
grass going in and out so many times, it makes you giddy it runs at
double speed
A lovely shot of a wiggle from the female
Plenty of material goes in but also comes
back out
At the beginning it seems like the bird is
having a trial run
This is the first time I have seen the
male feeding the female
She appears to be a bit nervous of this
visitor, you can clearly see the white tail feather in this shot
Again more going out, stuck to its leg
this time
Another shot of the male feeding the
female, all looks very promising
This shot is from the close up high
resolution camera and I think you can see, that the results should
be good, when the nest is built up, and everything comes into the
field of view, which is quite shallow.F
