Bryngwyn School nestbox Video Diary

21/4/2013

0 Comments

 
In a project they have called Bryngwatch, Bryngwyn School Science Department has set up a video camera to record activities inside a bird box near the school. Nest building usually starts in late March but varies according to the weather. The department hopes that the project will show birds nesting in the box as time goes on. Following the progress of these nesting birds will encourage pupils to engage in learning about nature at first hand.
Here is the latest footage from the Bryngwyn nest box camera.  There is no permanent nest in there yet but blue tits have been investigating it.

Video 1: Wednesday 17th April. Blue tits are still visiting the school nest box first thing in the morning and then again about half an hour later. No nest building is happening yet but they certainly seem interested in getting comfortable.
Video 2: Thursday 18th April. A blue tit has begun pushing nesting material to one side to make a dip. The bottom of the nest box can now be seen in the middle of the dip to the right of the picture. Visits to the box have been happening throughout the morning.
Activity is still happening early in the morning when the school is quiet. Every day one of the blue tits is guarding the entrance to the box for several minutes. Our pair of blue tits have already been given nicknames – William and Kate. Can’t think why….

Check out the Bryngwatch link from the Science Department  for more updates as things happen in the nest box.
