15th April 2007

Sorry for the lack of updates at the moment. It has been a very busy week and there hasn't been much time to update the website! We have also had a couple of problems with the camera lighting in Box 1. The white LED's that provide the colour enhancement during the day started to flicker and looked as if they were going to give up on us. Therefore, last night whilst the Blue Tit was out, we took down the Box 1 Camera Cover and replaced it with the Box 2 Camera cover with the Black and White camera in whilst we fixed the other one. This at least let us know when the bird was in the box or not! Now, the lights have been changed and the problem solved and the box lid went back up this morning.

Yesterday we saw 5 eggs in the box but we are having trouble at the moment seeing if there is a 6th one this morning as the Blue Tit really covers her eggs with nesting material so they are not on show. We will check later as we have the proper cameras back in the box and will update this page a bit later!
