Today's test stream is to see if it's possible to operate remotely and stream for an entire day, stopping at 7pm using the backup computer, Let's see if the clocks changing time overnight makes a mess of the whole thing!
The plan is to run using the automation features of the streaming software. Alas, if it goes horribly wrong there's not very much that can de done quickly so thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.There will be times of inactivity but you should be able to rewind the live video to search for visits to the box.
If you do happen to spot a bit of action please note the time in the chat. This will allow others to zip to the spot and become acquainted with our little friend.
Our bird did spend the night in the box last night. Wonder how long that will go on for?
As you can hopefully see, building is underway and our bird has started shopping in the soft furnishings department. I'll start to put out some wool around the fences in the garden at the weekend.
Please be kind to each other in the chat and try to stay on topic. Best to avoid politics and war at the moment!
