Some good news and bad news!
A pair of blue tits have been going in and out of the log box all morning. I put this up low down behind a fir tree to see if I could attract two coal tits who were regular visitors during March.
However, although I created a recess in the lid to take a camera I planned to switch my 420 TVL camera from the open fronted Robin box sited just above above.
So an hour ago I managed to fix the camera but on connecting up it was not working.
Then just now I thought I'd fiddle with the wires to see if there was a dodgy connection. I thought I had just seen both birds fly off down the gardens but upon opening the box one flew out of the opened lid!!!!
.
What an idiot I feel. So I have probably spooked them away and the camera is bloody broken after all!
Update: The male is back hanging around the box and a female has appeared but she seems less interested now. However, he seems to make himself bigger and spreads his tail out aggressively chasing any bird including his female sometimes!
Will have to wait and see. Feel like a total amatuer!!! New camera just ordered though!
