Saoirse:
I can sure see that the nest box would be better for watchers, but do you think that the roof may have been better for the birds themselves? It seems that they're having a huge opportunity to get some great exercise, some mini flights even, with the great expanse that the roof gives them.

From past experience I can tell you that the nest box gives you a better picture of the developing chicks. This is the first cam Brandon has had and before that, to see the chicks we had to go down town and use Binnos,but the chicks (2009) treated you to a great show three of them wingersizing on the nest box roof or on the perch bar and none of that nest fledged to the roof. You had no reflection from the floor, the chicks looked the right size, it was easy to see how they were developing and as long as you were willing to make the effort to go downtown you didn't have to wait for anyone to change the camera and I really can't see that being on the roof was any advantage in any way. Believe me you got lots of exercise and had lots of fun but it seems that this year has not been so interesting for me since the chicks were banded and sometimes I don,t even watch because it gets pretty boring watching a blank wall(I know that TPC has many calls on her time and certainly can't be at everybodies beck and call).

I totally agree Ellie! But the roof has given them such great opportunities to grow and practice and play.
LOVE the photos RCF. He still looks a bit mottled and has white fluff on his head. We might have a few more days...
