A wildlife fan has set up quirky birdbox this Spring - complete with luxury home furnishings.

Kate MacRae has kitted out a cosy accommodation with TV, shelving, pot plants and a clock.

She has also humorously listed the 'Copse Retreat' box as if it was up for rent, describing it as a 'new build' and a 'bespoke home for a species that wants a little more luxury'.

So far, a nuthatch has had two viewings at the location in Carmarthenshire, South Wales, which Kate captures on a tiny camera installed to capture the action.

Kate says: "As ‘WildlifeKate', my passion is connecting people with nature in exciting and immersive ways. One of my favourite tools for doing this is nest box cameras."

"These tiny, hidden cameras offer a unique glimpse into the secret lives of birds and other wildlife, capturing incredible moments that would otherwise go unseen."

"By sharing live footage and updates, I hope to inspire curiosity, appreciation, and a deeper connection with the natural world."

"I live stream the cameras and their unique insights on my website and try to create a really fun and engaging approach that will attract as wide an audience as possible, especially trying to attract those that may not usually watch a wildlife live camera."

"It is amazing how addictive they become when you start to follow these birds, as individuals, raising their families. "

"This year, I have approached the whole season as if I am an avian estate agents. The properties are advertised as rental properties and there is even one furnished property."

"This nest box"

is decorated like a tiny sitting room, even with a flat screen TV! But who will take up residence… we'll just have to wait and see!"
