I built a life-size mockup of the nest platform in my living room and looked at old photos of how high up the 'poo' went into the corner. I then judged the lowest distance I could reasonably get away with, and have also fitted the camera on a moveable base plate. So, should we experience one of those "one in a hundred year" defecation events, we will be able to say how totally surprised we all were, then sneakily raise the camera a bit more on the next maintenance abseil. But the chick will still have to be pretty big before they can poo that high into ther corner, so if the lens does get creamed, we'll just have to live with it until they've fledged.<br />My belief is that the gamble is worth it for a great view. <br />Time, and faeces, will tell!<br /><br />Out of interest, Derby Council's website security certificate waas sorted out this morning. We were the first to report the problem, and they were certainly appreciative of the evening 'tweet' we sent them. The problem was resolved at 9.20am today.<br /><br />Nick.

It does appear to be raining in Nottingham, which was why the thought about last year went through my mind earlier. Of course, Notts was an extreme example of the trouble wreaked by last year's weather but it was actually a cruel year for many birds, Derby actually did fantastically well. I hope for the sake of all our wildlife that 2013 is not a repeat of the extremes of 2012.
