The “Falcons of Théding” present: the “Blue tits of Théding“!

This nest-box dedicated to the blue tit has been installed since spring 2019. It is hung in a fir tree 2 meters in height, at the bottom of the garden, in Théding.

An on-board I.P. camera, fixed in a false ceiling, makes it possible to view the nest from above. This camera is connected by a long ethernet cable which allows internet access but also to power it electrically. The camera has 2 different viewing modes: a “fisheye” mode which allows viewing the entire nest box (with the balcony and the flight hole) as well as allowing to see an area with extra accuracy .
More technical information by reading the ‘behind the scenes‘ page.

Artificial lighting has been added to the false ceiling: the brightness generated by the LED passes through small holes in the false ceiling. The light turns on automatically (thanks to connected plugs) at sunrise. It goes out at sunset . At night, infrared lighting takes over.

Live video is available 24/7 during the breeding season, approximately from February to June. You can follow their adventure from the construction of the nest to the flight of the nestlings. Go through the photo / video gallery to learn the history of this year and previous years.
