Robin nest 2015

During May we discovered that our resident pair of robins had nested in a blue plastic container inside our shed.


Once they had left, I put an old open fronted nest box on a shelf inside the shed, in the hope that they might return.


They did, and after a couple of weeks sitting on the eggs, we noticed a few days ago that the female was disposing of egg shell and starting to bring small morsels of food for the emerging chicks.

BirdBoxPiCam2014: Streaming video at 30fps

Now that the female has moved on from egg-laying-mode to incubation-mode, I've switched off motion detection in favour of live streaming.


It was more of a struggle than I'd expected to get streaming working, but I can now view the action live (well, live-ish if you ignore the 3 second delay) on one or more clients running VLC.


Video can be recorded on the server (i.e. the Raspberry Pi) or on a client.

Raspi-Cam @90 frames per second

The latest RaspberryPi firmware has added an interesting new camera mode allowing 90fps recording.


Video recorded with this mode is encoded at approximately one quarter of the original speed, producing an interesting slow-motion video.


If you have a RaspberryPi and a RaspiCamera you can start using this, and other new modes, by updating firmware from the terminal:-
