We installed it just after Christmas.

And on New Year's Day, the Bluetooth started just looking into the box.

So pretty much every day from the 1st of January right through to mid-March, they were prospecting then.

But nobody going into the box.

And then there were a couple of weeks they just completely abandoned it and I thought, I didn't know what had happened.

But on Easter Sunday they returned and started building.

So for the past two weeks now they've been building.

And last night they, well I assume the female bird...

she actually stayed in the nest box overnight, and that was the first night that she stayed in it.

So they're still bringing bits and pieces in and out, but it's just so interesting.

I'm intrigued by it.

I have an app on my phone so I can watch it live, and then I'm getting notifications so the cameras are triggered.

They start recording when there's motion.

So in the past two weeks, there have been over 500 recordings with the birds in and out, so it's amazing.

Yeah, and I actually heard the cuckoo here in Leitrim Village last Monday morning, the 13th of April.

I thought it was a bit early, but I'm not sure if it was just such dismal weather.

It still feels like it's almost wintertime.

Yeah, yeah.

I was going to record the cuckoo during the week, but I wasn't able to.

But I heard her last Monday morning and a few evenings since.
