We are a small family business situated just outside Cambridge where we make
and sell our own design of bird box with an excellent audio enabled CCD colour camera fitted.
If you are thinking of buying a system with a black and white camera we would advise against it,
the images from a colour camera are so much better and the cost of our colour camera nesting box
is lower than many black and white systems currently on sale elsewhere
(in fact we sell our box for what our very first prototype cost us to make 3 years ago).
For details of the camera see our online shop,
for examples of what it produces just look at our pictures.
This website also links to bird boxes in our garden (see the "Diary" entries on the left) and
a webcam watching our bird feeders (see "In our garden" on the menu bar on the left).
Our first nesting box was built and installed over three years ago to watch Blue tits nesting,
see Peggy's 2006 diary pages for details of nesting activities. Last year the female blue tit
disappeared, so unfortunately all we have pictures of is the male roosting.
We have also decided after testing many transmitters and receivers that wireless technology
does not match a cabled system for quality and so we will not be selling a wireless model, see the online shop
for details.
The box can also be
connected to a computer
via a video capture card which can be bought separately.

On the left is a video, recorded in early March, of a pair of blue tits inspecting one of our customers'
nesting boxes in Scotland. To see more videos and read Shirl's Garden Watch blog click

If you can't see the video, or it doesn't play properly, then you probably need to install the latest version of
Adobe Flash Player.
