Mrs Duck

Recently, we found our that our garden visitor Mrs Duck, has decided that our front doorway is a perfect place to sneak under the leaves and build a nest. We only found this out when doing some yard work, and coming across her carefully built nest complete with 8 eggs. Having two small kids, we thought we can’t just ignore this opportunity for learning something cool!​Fortunately, daddy likes computers and 3d printing far too much, and so was built the Mrs Duck camera. Comprising of a raspberry pi (3b), a pi noir camera and a quickly whipped up case from http://bit.ly/2ZZhpgi (with an extra end cap modelled in tinkercad and printed to keep the innards dry), the Mrs Duck cam has been running for about a week now, streaming to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51wxvp4J9z4​Definitely approved by the the little ones, they can check Mrs Duck is ok before bed 🙂 Fingers crossed any day soon we should have some little ducklings on our hands too!​​In-situ (I only had orange filament) http://bit.ly/2UZQAVL
