Greatbluehopefuls nest box 2019 & 2020 - Kildare,Ireland

Hi Hardy, oh best of luck with the GT - its good she moved to the box with the better camera!! When she does reveal her eggs you'll get some great shots.

I find the camera quality actually very good on this old set up from Aldi....the images are really clear when viewing the screen. But because I've to record the images from the TV screen onto my mobile phone, it doesn't really translate properly as my phone camera doesn't have a slow shutter speed option to accommodate the TV screen lines. So it looks dreadful! Of course, my bird didn't choose my boxes with the digital set up! Doh!!!

Anyway, I'm definitely not complaining and thanks for the well wishes, as I've some really great news!!! 

"Viv" has been building all day and has really done some great work on the nest. She has decided to come in and roost for the 1st time! 

So all looking very promising indeed!!!  Hopefully we'll be moving onto the next stage from tomorrow I imagine, with the construction of the nest cup etc. 

Here is a little video:
