Now back in the diary for Thursday, 27th November at 10.30 a.m. – Kingfishers Bridge visit.
To book your place, please email jodurning@btopenworld.com
The project team at ‘Kingfishers’ are doing innovative things to establish and maintain the wetland for wildlife. The project web page has some fantastic video and images of the site.
Here is a sample of the work the project is doing with technology, creating interest for visitors and providing insights and understanding about the inhabitants of the wetland.
‘We have recently set up a series of high resolution colour and night vision nest box cameras on the reserve, and plan to install a number of high definition digital cameras in the larger boxes in the near future. We have several aims we hope to achieve using these cameras over the next few years, including bringing our friends closer to the breeding birds they help to support with a live video service on this website.
Video recordings of nests can give us a great deal of information on factors affecting good fledging outcomes here at Kingfishers Bridge. The live view of the Barn owls has already shown how weather conditions affect the hunting efficiency and prey types caught by the male Barn owl. We currently have cameras in the Barn owl and Tawny owl nest boxes, there is also a live feed of a Great tit and House martin nest here at the wardens office’.
