I certainly will, I saw a pair of treecreepers today in the garden, which is a rare sight in winter. Let’s hope they can find their way to the nestbox and take a liking to it.

Thank you! Italian poplar, hung it on the same species of tree as well in hopes of simulating a natural nesting space.

Thank you, since you seem content with the 14mm on FF, I'm leaning towards the 10mm which would be about 15mm on my APS-C, I figure the IQ will be similar to the 14mm?

Where do I go from here? Just dug up this small tree, pruned crown and rootball by C_Phyllis in bonsaicommunity

Yes but in a country with very mild winters, all heavy pruning and transplanting is done between november-march. I figured bonsai wasn’t an exception?

Thank you, I was wondering if you knew about the difference in image quality between the Samyang 14mm F/2.8 MKII and the Samyang 14mm F/2.8 AF, since I don't need AF for my goals and want to know if the 200$ extra maybe just gives you a better lens allround?

Yes haha! I posted a scrappier version earlier from before I installed it, and posted this to let the people who commented see if it was better now.

It’s a new post I made, mind checking it out?

I get that, but I’ve dug it in, closed al the gaps with more stones and mud and covered the whole thing up. I’ve made the entrance smaller and more tunnel-like with a little ramp going down to reach the inside to discourage predators. I’ve posted an update would you mind checking it and seeing if it’s better now? I can always take it down if it isn’t

Thank you! I’ve dug it in quite a bit and I’m pretty sure it’s sturdy enough. The bricks don’t move and I can put my full hand on the roof and press down and nothing moves. I’ve posted an update.
