Watching Birds By Way Of A Bird Box Camera
A bird box camera enables you to to get close to the birds that frequent your garden. If you already have a nesting box in the garden then kits are available to add a camera or you can purchase a full kit complete with a nest box suited to the species you wish to attract.
For anyone who is passionate about attracting birds and wildlife to their garden they can now go that extra step and set themselves up as a budding David Attenborough with a camera bird box.
Most suppliers of cameras for bird boxes have models that will fit into any suitable nesting box, whether it’s a small 25mm entrance hole version for a Blue Tit, an open fronted design for Robins and Wrens or even a Hedgehog House.
Available in black and white or color, these nest box cameras can also have infrared technology fitted for 24 hours viewing. The camera can be connected to your computer or television by wire or wireless for your viewing pleasure.
Although color models cost more than black and white ones do, they tend to give you better photographs. Although there are two options (cameras that are wireless and those that require a wire) generally the signal is stronger with the wired version.
It is simple to set up a wired camera but they have the drawback of limitations on where they can be placed. Putting a hole in the wall of your house for the cable that leads to the TV may be required.
There are different bird box cameras available and you can get them for any application required. Whether an open box for Robins, a Hedgehog house or a house for Blue Tits with a very small opening you have plenty of choice.
Put the birds’ nest box in a quiet part of the garden and to deter predators place it at least 5m off the ground.
Be sure to set the birds nest box in a still area of the garden. They can be placed almost anywhere, but it is best if you try to place it where it will not be in the sun all day and has some shelter from bad weather.
