Thank you for posting that update, Sandra :)

I'm packing up now, am downloading the stream.

You're welcome, Scylla and thank you! :)

Oh it looks so calm and peaceful at Lowes right now, like a painting really, with a nice clear cam.

Here's a little video of the cam zoom presets being tested yesterday, preceded by the only birdie I noticed.

The picture takes a very little while to "resolve" each new zoom and is excellent :)

Thanks Sylla ( and all)

Lovely to see familiar landmarks, especially after the winter weather, also the lovely sounds we get to hear from this site.

It's a sweet little video Scylla. Thank you. I'm still struggling to get all the correct Youtube addresses for the cams, sigh.

Good Morning All

All looks good at Lowes this morning, always a delight to listen to with all the bird noises, geese honking etc..... 

I notice that the You Tube Stream goes back 12 hours now, which is going to be very handy when checking what has happened when you cannot watch 24/7.... 

I cannot remember it going back this far before, as now you can go back to daycam yesterday.

It started last season, Mary, but after you'd "left", probably.  It is very useful but I find it hard to fine tune it to a specific point - 12 hours means you've got a nano-millimeter covering several minutes.  However, I've noticed that some others are far more accomplished at it ;)

Apparently the trick is to pause the stream then use scroll-back, I've heard it allows you to be a bit more precise. Ian

After much eye strain and googling, I plonked for SISKIN.  (The ones we first saw on the LG feeder were more greenish than I've since been led to believe Siskins are.)

At the end there's a very yellow flitter arcs over the back of the nest and away.

I'd say siskin scylla. Female, then the very yellow one, male. Probably pursuing the female.......
