I had created a basic bird box which worked great but the goal was always to be able to squeeze a raspberry pi in there as well which i just managed by utilising the lid to house everything. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to comment, i think i need to improve the power connector but till will tell how it holds up.
It's designed so that it can easily be removed if required and there is always the possibility to have a few boxes and move the raspberry pi enabled roof as required, although be careful if birds are already nesting as this may not be advisable.
I have done a little youtube video showing the project but i've also listed all the parts / sources below.
For writing the image i used etcher https://etcher.io/
The software the Raspberry Pi is running is motioneyeOS

For instructions on configuring the wifi for headless operation there is a great guide at
