Camera viewing distance

The cameras are ideal for nestbox use, focusing from 5cm to infinity, allowing you to it for many applications. The diagram to the right gives you a guide to approximately how much of your nest box will be in view when you fix your camera at different distances. For example if you fit the camera 30cm above the floor of the box you would get an approximate area of 27 cm by 20 cm in view. You will be able to focus the lens by undoing a little grub screw under the lens and turning the lens (Black part) anti clockwise.

Please note that the lighter the colour of the interior of your nest box (including the walls) the brighter your picture picture will be (day or night).

Having the correct IR levels are also important. This camera is ideally suited for handykam nest boxes and there is the correct balance between natural light during the day and correct focal distance between camera and base.

Put your nestbox up any time

Different birds nest at different times, often having multiple clutches throughout the season.

They also use nest boxes to hide in, shelter and roost in. Some take a while to get used to a new home.

It's never too late or the “wrong time” to put up a nestbox.

FREE SPRINGWATCH UPGRADE

Following the success of Springwatch this year and and to say a big thank you to our customers, we thought we would add a FREE upgrade to our existing offer.

We have upgraded the plastic hole sizers/protectors to three designer brushed stainless steel versions. These quality made items will help you select what type of bird you would like in the box as well as protect the box from predators like woodpeckers, squirrels etc.

Fit one one of hole sizers with the anti rust brass panel pins provided. Your birds will now be safe and secure in their new home.

Lower carbon footprint

The cedar nest boxes are hand crafted from FSC Cornish western red cedar. The wood is light with a beautiful fragrance. The wood comes from responsibly managed HRH Crown estates (HRH Prince Charles). As they are produced in Cornwall, they the offer lowest environmental cost and carbon footprint as well as helping local rural economy grow and prosper

Also, for every cubic foot of timber processed an extra tree is planted to offset the carbon used at the mill.
