Over the past few years I’ve been doing a series of posts called nestbox cam updates and it’s just started again this year.
So I’ve decided to build another one

This time I decided to push the boat out and I got some nice oak.
Am going to put a different front on this box to try and attract a different kind of bird possibly a robin.

I also tried covering the screw holes with some wood dowel which I think turned out well plus I had a roll of lead which I’ve covered the roof with and that looks good as well.

I would imagine this will help the box last a lot longer.
If I’m lucky enough to attract some birds this year I will get another camera for next season only because they are quite expensive to buy especially if it stays empty.

And here’s a picture of the box mounted on the side of my house,hopefully it won’t be empty for long.
Thanks mike
