i was looking at my sideview camera box and log box recently i decided that the log box would be the obvious one to be used and not the sideview camera box. so my next thought was to cover the front of the sideview camera box in bark. i hope i can encourage the blue tits to use this box, i know the inside isn't like a log box.but it worth a try. I look forward to the new season more than ever.

Thanks Sue Iโm am being very laid back about this season, what will be will be. I have a pr of blue tits in and out of one of my log boxes like it was a Wendy play house no sign of nesting. I noticed a 3 some yesterday and today I noticed visit to another log box by the male, is he looking to attract his mistress. Hopefully I will have some positive news in the near future.โ๏ธ๐ค๐ป๐

Well Iโve investigated this evening, my blue tit log box has loads of moss in it, I knew they had been busy but not actually seen anything being taken in. I noticed she had been staying in for fairly long visits. Iโm very happy this evening, just have fingers crossed it all goes well I will be watching closely tomorrow ๐

Well tonight I watched the male blue tit go into hiscbox at 18 10 same time as previous evening, simalutaneously the female went into the nesting box, I watched her she poked her head out to make sure the coast was clear ๐คญ ๐and went out again she did this twice, I didnโt look any longer but I have a feeling she may roost in the nest tonight I think apart from feathers the nest is complete ๐ค๐ป

Thanks Amanda So far I have had no luck with this side view camera box, I think this is the fourth season and still spotless inside Itโs the only place I can put it, saying that I have had successful boxes in the same position. I have a pr of blue tits nesting in a log box so Iโm happy with that Still time maybe who knows I could have a surprise around the corner with that box๐ธโ๏ธ
I do have a 3rd blue tit looking at my other log box, I can defo confirm this from this morning when the pr of blue tits were at the nesting box๐๐ป๐๐ค๐ป

Itโs been quiet here some quick visits to box no further nest building. They know exactly how the weather is going to be and what to do when, In some ways Iโm happy as Iโm away until Friday so I know I wonโt be missing any progress ๐ค๐ป
