Welcome to the 2025 beaks!
Last updated: 30th January 2025
New hardware! Now with a better camera for day time. This should give much better quality pictures during the day. The IR camera is still in there for night time viewing.
The beaks are coming in for a look-around almost daily. They sometimes give it a miss on windy days.
Known issues:
- I need to change the software to swap between the IR and daytime cameras. Nights will be black until I do. Hopefully this weekend.
- The quality of the stream is set low - mainly because it interferes with the speed of the rest of the house's internet. I'll turn it up a bit when they beaks start nest building.
The visiting beaks
Curated highlights of the beak visits this year. The latest videos are at the top.
The new camera captures a beak for the first time. It looks a little less anaemic with a non-IR camera.
Just a short clip, but you can hear them cheeping to each other. So cute!
Now with sound! The beaks come in for another look around
The first beaks in the box! The picture quality is terrible, but we have beaks! A pair of Blue Tits hop in for a nosey.
