She's doing a good job Pete! It is surprising just how deep the nest is - you'll see it when you clear it out at the end of the season. At least a couple of inches, something to bear in mind when adjusting focus of the camera before nesting (raspberry pi camera is particularly finicky with focus).

Yes I'm really hoping I made the right choice of focus when I set the camera up last year. I seem to recall standing a large box of matches up in the bottom of the box as something to focus on!
So far I actually think the image has improved a fair bit with the nest lifting the birds up off the box floor.
Hopefully she's not thinking of putting much more material on top of what's there otherwise all we'll see is a huge blurred BT face!

Male's still feeding her from time to time.
