Yes just spotted the four eggs, i wonder if thats it then?
I did think there would be another one there this morning but at least if she just has four chicks then we wont be worrying too much about her feeding such a big brood when the times comes  :)
 
Yep, ive already started to worry about all the work ahead...lol
What a softie i am  ::)  :)

Have you checked this site Quiney? With that setup, you would need a TV capture card to view it on your computer. You could of course view it direct on your TV screen, or record to VCR. That e-bay one would be the same. The picture quality doesn't seem to be just as good, but would be ideal for a remote spot.
Maplin do board cams.
This is what I am using.  :)

Cheers for the boardcam info H2yoho - I appreciate the help.  I think I'll buy one of the cheaper ones from maplin and link it up to my TV and tape what I get.

If I start trying to get my head round it just now I should have one up and running for next year!!! ;D

Thanks again...

Well. Still the four eggs this morning, so looks like she is going for a small family. That's fine by me, but who knows, maybe she will have two broods. Probably depends a lot on the weather.  ;)

Hiya Yoho
To be honest I'm trying to avoid your tit cam cos if I click on it I find myself sitting for ages watching it  ;D  and not doing what I should be!  Still working in the garden gives me a chance to see my blue tits. Poor Buster is running around ragged chasing the sparrows away while the Mrs just sits on the nest nagging him  :) Its a hard life  ;D
