yes me to, I've watched both pr of bluetits and greatits flying about like crazy when i got home.I walked up to the top of the garden and noticed some loose fresh pieces of moss below the camera box, i had to investigate so i went to set up the camera all quiet inside the box knew not to raise my hopes

It was copy and pasted as a link so it just showed the link and not the picture for me, So I fixed it for you. Hopefully you don't mind.

Hi Ann, I’m also in school, so I too am very excited for next week so I can watch the birds (hopefully) all day long if I want . The Angle on your nest box seems quite high Ann, have you made any alterations? I ask because my box angle was quite shallow, but have just moved camare up a couple of inches to see if it gives me a better view of any potential eggs My female last year really didn’t allow me to see anything at all, until chicks where a few days old. Elle xx looking good for visits though considering it’s still early icon_biggrin

oh good ,im looking forward to the rest, im close to retirement at end of school year, i don't really want to go.ive been there 21 years, ive been connected to school for 30 years since my eldest of 3 sons started but it will be great to have time to do things for myself i didn't dare touch anything once i got my box, maybe during the holiday i could have a go at moving it and see if i can get a better position thanks elle

Hi Ann & Elle, enjoy yourselves next week then being at home to watch your birds - my son-in-law is a teacher too so also on holiday, but going away for the week. I understand how you will miss school Ann, but when you retire, you'll wonder how on earth you managed to find the time to go to work!

Oh Ann I think you mis-understood, I didn’t mean move the box for repositioning, I meant the camara inside the box is high up, higher than mine, which I like because it will give a better view, just wondered if you changed it to that position or it actually was bought like that?? Elle xx

hi elle i did understand, we hadn't touched the camera left it as it came, we got a clear picture straight away we were ok with it, but i will have chance to move it slightly so we get a better view inside once i finish school i will have more time then

yes, a garden nature box, i really treated myself, it will be a huge disappointment if other boxes are used this year, and not the camera box

Ann, I always get boxes without camera get a nest whilst the one that has got a camera sits there waiting and empty . Fingers crossed for both of us this year . I reiterate what Diane says - once you retire you won’t have time for anything and wonder how you ever had time to work . Hope you and Elle have a fruitful week off. Sue

Elle Xx Elle, You can get a lens for £9:49 off gardenature you know that gives an 120 degree view instead of the standard 92 degree. I have this lens on one my cameras in one of my side boxes (my other 2 side boxes just have the standard 92 degree one) Here's a picture of the view with the 2.8mm lens on gardenature.co.uk/product/2-8mm-wide-angle-lens-hd1080p
