Alcoa Anglesea: 42 days old























































De Mortel: new nestbox






















After 4 years of excellent service the old green nestbox was removed yesterday and replaced by a brandnew one. The box was made by the local Bird Workgroup from Gemert.
We wanted to instal new camera's as well, so both could be done at the same time. Roel Zwiers our technician uninstalled nestbox cam, microphone and the ledgecam. And installed a new nestboxcam, microphone and a new ledgecam. The new box was then placed on the grate and attached to the ledge.
The view from the ledge cam is aboslutely superb. The view from the nestbox is not yet OK, but we will fix that as well. So we can all enjoy S2, Pa and their new eyases next season.

Both S2 and Pa came to watch what the heck was going on, did some protesting for 10-15 minutes and left to prech and preen on the first ring.
