Night Time Nest Box

[Rowan]

We've captured more footage of the cats so tonight we have attached 2 paddle brushes with double sided sticky tape so we haven't disturbed the tits. Fingers crossed we will have footage of a very uncomfortable cat tonight

Thanks for all your suggestions. We maybe using them if the brushes do not work

Have the paddle brushes done their job Rowan?

Blimey rowan, I wonder if any cats etc try and get in my nest box, I have seen a magpie pecking in the hole once last year, but its overnight I worry about.

And you have proof in footage that predators do try and get to them, especially at the time the hatchlings are chirping before they fledge x

Well, the 1st night of paddle brush we had another cat and he tried but failed He couldn't get on the box properly. And since then there has been no night time activity so fingers crossed I'm hoping it has worked. I'll keep you posted and will post the footage.

It's so worrying but if I didn't have the camera i'd never know and the tits are still there even without the brushes. Keeping my fingers crossed.
