A repeat of the natural birdbox

[Dave]

I started it in the morning around 10.00ish and was finished in the afternoon by around 16.00.

This is the process

Drill holes and test insert the bolts. The bolts along with wingnuts will be used to hold on the bottom removable base to the access to the inside to clean it out if it's used.



Remove the bolts and saw off the bottom 25mm



Mark out the area to cut out



Start to drill out around the edge, this is the point where I wish I had a big lathe to turn it out

 

Drill a bigger hole to help the chopping out with the chisel



Start the cut out process

 

The end of stage 1 chopping out

 

The end of stage 2 chopping out



After a little tidy up install camera



Connect the camera cable and fix it to the shed

 

A potential tenant when they start nesting

Wow.... That was quick (for an old man  )


I love the natural look

Thanks John

Here's the current photo in the box.



As you can see the nest is coming along nicely. We just hope they use it this year, last year they started the nest then abandoned it, apparently that's what they do, they start 2 nests then just choose 1. This one looks further on than last years so keeping fingers crossed

It will be great to see eggs and then some chicks 

Can't wait
