Why have they changed the view???? cant see any birds now......????

Its still the same view (one less feeder? - looked again, 2nd feeder behind the 1st?), got some birdies and a red squiff atm.

Just had another look. You can only really see one feeder & the squirrel box now. The top feeder I can just see a little tail hanging down, one coal tit on the front feeder & the back one looks as though it's got a squirrel proof sleeve on it & maybe the nuts are in the bottom section out of shot?

Just checked this site again, and its very busy, tit's and Spotted Woodpeckers.

Plenty of food for them.

No Red furries though..??

Hi SueA, I have the same problem, not half as good as last autumn!
They only way I can see more is to use 'full screen', but the picture quality is poor....unless you are 10ft from screen!!!!

[smallblueplanet]

Hi you two, I've just had another look and its a good picture, perhaps the version of media player or internet explorer might affect the quality? I'm using IE7 & WMP11.

just looked 17.25 and still quite a good picture must be your system's....jacob

[Headfry]

Thanks folks,

Best not complain, as it's not MY computer!

[smallblueplanet]

Have you checked whether its software such as the browser and media player have been updated though? It might make a difference and its always good form to be running as current as possible software versions.

I've not got a problem with the quality of the picture it's just that the positioning of the camera could be better. I can see the two feeders on the left fine now & the squirrel box but there's another feeder high up on the right that I can just see the base of & it always seems to have a little tail hanging down from it or to be swinging around as though there's lots of birds on it & I wonder what I'm missing up there (always been a bit nosey!)

[smallblueplanet]

Email them Sue! Demand they let you see what you've been missing!

It appears that the live Video feed is no more, just stills taken every 2 Min's.



That's no way to watch Red Squirrels.

Been watching the goshawk one & I can see two chicks which seem to have been left on their own in the nest for a while, do the parents normally leave them for longish periods when they're this young?
