The school have setup a nest box with an integrated camera to try and entice some birds to nest there so we can watch and study the life process. The camera we bought was from Handykam.com , and included a pine nest box and all the wires we needed to connect to a PC.
For this we decided in keeping with our green policy to purchase a Raspberry Pi 3 and stream from that using Motion Software . Well this isn’t strictly true, what we did do was install Raspbian and then added motion to that. We also had to mess around a little to get the USB capture device to work on the Pi but we will add a tutorial later for anyone who may want to go the same route as an easy follow guide.
Anyway the upshot is this enables us to have an always on, very low powered device and so save energy.
So far we don’t have a nest in there yet but we do have regular Blue Tits pinching our bedding! Here is a video of such an occurrence.

I found out about Nolvadex when my gynecologist prescribed it to me in comprehensive hormonal treatment. There is no need to be afraid that most of the reviews and recommendations at declare that the drug is used to treat cancer. The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the condition and can last from 3 months up to 5-6 years. I have been taken it already for 2 months.

Year 1 have been learning about road safety. Lorraine from Walkwise came to the school to talk to the children about crossing the roads safely. They also learned about being bright on the roads and investigated different types of dull and bright materials. As examples, they wore uniforms worn by the fire fighters, police and ambulance drivers, which are bright by design and then they designed and decorated their own t-shirts so they were bright enough to be seen on the roads.
