CAYSA's BIRDHOUSE CAM

Ally, you asked earlier where the birdhouse cam is situated.
Here is a drawing:

thanks!
hope this is good place for it.
i just read that blue tits like hardwood forest,then birch for nest box must be fit

Yes, I think so. The light green dots are birches and the dark green are spruces and pines. There are so many of them - this summer we have tocut some down again to get some more light into the yard.... They grow really fast!!

yes thereseems much trees, but have you land for strawberries and cabbages and carrots??

Your house is northern direction ?

This yard is not really suitable for growing vegetables... It is woodland and has the wrong PH (rhododendrons would love it ) But of course we have a little vegetable patch where we have brought better compost. And I have my greenhouse for tomatoes and cucumbers

Yes, the front of the house faces north. In summer it is lovely because we have evening sun. But this time of the year the hill and forest behind the house does not let much sunlight in during the morning hours.

dogs are outside

its cracking there

It is water dripping from the tree branches. For the first time we have had a night with temperatures OVER 0C - it has been raining too.

and snow is melting

AllyKass wrote:and snow is melting

Yes... and now all the branches and old leaves, that have been shaken off the trees because of all the severe storms we have had this winter, are starting to show - it looks ugly ( and I can see dog poops too )
I want the snow to melt fast now and the ground to dry up enough for me to start raking.

But... this morning I heard a Blackbird singing

yes i was outand in us there was minefield (dogs poop),too,
but some sidewalks was snowfree, too,but these pig snow piles are ugly,yeah

camois offline again......is there made problems that melting snow????

AllyKass wrote:camois offline again......is there made problems that melting snow????

No There just has not been any birds around, because of the rainy weather maybe - and I took the opportunity to do some updates on my computer. When the camera is running it takes up a lot of memory so certain things would take ages to be done.

oh,thanks god,im already worried

Don't worry - when the there is more activity I will keep the cam going!!

i wait this nest building time already

Yes - raining a lot...... which of course will melt the snow but the ground is frozen - there is nowhere for the water to go..... Will be flooding everywhere. TG our house is on a hill!

It has stopped raining while I was in Helsinki with Anna.
