A solitary blue tit living in the Hilltop Analytics nest box in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. Usually only home at dawn and dusk so you’ll have to be lucky to spot him.
Maybe there’ll be a nest and chicks in spring? Fingers crossed.
We have a new webcam! The nest box is now running a Pi Zero, NOIR cam and a little IR LED bulb, which means it can be left on at night without disturbing its residents. The focus isn’t perfect but I almost destroyed the tiny cam trying to change it so this will have to do for 2021.
If you want to do it yourself, I’m mostly following these instructions but using a Pi Zero.
