This looks like one of NestBox’s videos - they do amazing Timelapse videos of birds nesting in empty boxes like this one, placed explicitly for er…ahem….researching nesting patterns in various bird species I suppose.

Of course the content captured out of them is a veritable cornucopia of bird behaviour - saw one where a “rascal bachelor bird” hopped in to “hit on the wife” and the bird called out the husband bird which arrived in time to teach that scallywag a lesson!

The full length version of this vid has a corvid trying to break into the nest box to eat the chicks but it's too big to get in. Looks damn scary though.
