Thanks!

Thanks for posting this incredible footage.But it would have been nice to see some horizontal saw cuts on the inside of the nestbox to aid the ducklings in getting a better grip during their escape.

Just my thoughts but it seems like creating a "Club" thread just for one lens doesn't fit all the other clubs. They are generally for a series of lenses, such as the "M-Club", or the "Takumar Club." I believe that there is already an "F Club" (doesn't see much activity) but perhaps a better idea would be to create a "* Club" (if there isn't already one, I haven't checked). I'm not trying to antagonize and personally don't have anything against it but just making a suggestion based on what I have seen here at the forums.

PS i'm looking for the F* 300/4.5 so let me know if you have one that needs a new home!

Well with searching for the F*300/4.5. I use mine more than any other lens in my rather large Pentax collection. The lens REALLY shines on my KP.

YEs, there are some only in the front wall, but I have this in the plans to add some more on the side walls (I've told that to the guy who built the bird's house for me, but he did not catched what I meant, and did more on the Outside walls...
other option would be to screw an inside liner, such as a kind of plastic mesh or something lik that... I'll do that for next year/season.
