We have fitted a camera on a new Swallows nest that we found this morning in the same barn that we have shown previous Swallows nests. There are three eggs in the nest that are now being incubated.
Last Monday I received an email from a European Nature Conservation body asking if we would broadcast a Barn Owl Nest Cam for them. With the Owlets ready to leave the Barn Owl Trusts Nest over the coming weeks we emailed back accepting the invitation. Unfortunately since then I have not had a reply back. That is not to say that we wont, but being that the Owls are incubating the eggs it would be good to start from the beginning of the nesting. This is the second nesting this year of these Barn Owls. As soon as I hear back from the body I will let you know. UPDATE. We have received the reply and we will be broadcasting the new Barn Owl Nest Cam with sound by tomorrow. Watch out for the new Thumbnail.
The Nature Conservation Body have a close relationship with The Barn Owl Trust, who next year will also have sound and hopefully a day and night camera so that the Barn Owls Nest Cam can be seen in colour in the daylight hours.
A few weeks back I told you about the underwater webcam in the US Virgin Islands that we have been asked to do. All the equipment has been sent to the Island. Michael the person who has asked us to broadcast for them had a meeting with the Port Authority and Pier Manager at the site. They are going to recommend to the Board, full approval of the project at the August 6th meeting. The webcam will be sited at a different location than we first were told, and it will be under a different US department who have other sites that they would consider webcams including a beach that the Turtles nest at.
There has been mentioned that the quality of the Red Squirrel and Pine Martin Camera is not a clear as it might be. The Broadband connection at the Lock of the Lowe’s is quite low. To get a good picture from the Osprey nest it mean using a lot of the available bandwidth on that webcam causing the other webcams to use a very low bandwidth. When the Osprey nesting finishes the bandwidths will be adjusted so that both webcams at the Lock have good images.
