So whilst house sitting, I decided it was time to rig up the birdbox my Mum received from my sister for her birthday. The interesting thing is, this one has an inbuilt video camera inside to view the new inhabitants when they arrive.
The box was already pre-assembled, so was pretty straightforward… found a place on her shed, luckily there is a plug inside the shed already so just had to drill a hole through for the camera power cable to get through.
The camera transmits its signal to a receiver, inside plugged into the television… All Mum now has to do is select channel AV3 and there it is… a view of inside the box from the comfort of the sofa.
This compliments a nice little wildlife friendly garden… what with an array of bird feeders and newly installed insect houses, this should be an attractive wildlife haven for years to come. Good one Mum!
I’ll keep progress updated here if and when any inhabitants move in and begin making a nest come springtime!
