how come i can't see anything but blackness on the nestcam?

it's probably night-time

why don't you move the nestcam further away from/closer to the nest?

the camera is jammed between the cardboard sheet covering the window and the pane. adjusting the camera position involves moving the cardboard screen, which really freaks out mrs thrush, which clearly isn't a good thing

what kind of keyboard is that i see in the picture of your kitchen?

it's a jen sx1000 thank you very much. jen were using the name sx years before cubase

why don't you buy an extension cable for the highcam so i can get a bird's-eye view of the birds?

i might get round to it. though these products are always vastly over-priced

how come this site is visually similar to, though ultimately inferior to, sambeau.com?

i don't know nuthin'. sam knows everything. i had no choice. sam rocks. see his site

i'm so embarassed

i like your site, but can't you do something about your unwieldy url?

the funky new url is www.birdland.org.uk

the chicks are all blurred. why don't you focus the camera properly?

the chicks aren't out of focus - they are fluffy

(though it may be true that the camera is very slightly out of focus)

is it ok if i tell my twitcher friends about your website?

of course

in fact, my parents have just embarked upon a uk wide promotional tour for this site, so feel free

i use netscape. why don't the images display properly?

i don't know yet

do you have a hit counter so i can see just how close you are to breaching your bandwidth limit?

yup. it's at the bottom of the main page

what is all this chat about thrush vs blackbird?

when our proud mother started building her nest, i wasn't sure if she was a thrush or a blackbird (both being brown speckled things)

whilst some correspondents spotted it sooner, the truth about her genus only became clear with the arrival of her partner. he is definately a blackie
