I’m hoping nest building starts here soon as I’m going away on 26 march to Christchurch and the new forest for a few days so hoping at least the nest will be built and won’t miss out on much 🤞🏻☘️😊

I’m puzzled that I’ve nut seen the pair of great tits to my garden must be a month now As long as I’ve lived here in 37 years there’s always been presence from them I think something awful may of happened to them but who knows they may just line magic reappear 🤞🏻 I’m relying on the one and only pair of blue tits this time around not that the great tits nest in my boxes

Will keep everything crossed for you Ann. Strange as you say to have had pair of great tits for so long and then nothing. I am having the same with my box, after building my hopes up as had visits throughout December, January and February (in fact lost count of the amount of visits), then suddenly nothing . I had hoped with a bit of sunshine and milder weather today they might appear but no luck so far. Plenty of time, but this pair seemed so keen on the box and the fact that it is in a strange place , I now feel I might have to turn my attention to other boxes in the grounds of the flat (not been watching them from balcony as didn’t want to put my visiting pair off). Will keep waiting, watching and Ha ha. Sue

It’ll be like that old Kit Kat advert Ann, they will turn up when our back are turned and cameras off or playing up Sue

Hi Sue It’s tricky, I will be watching again tomorrow, I have to tell myself to go about what I need to do, and when it kicks off I will see it. it’s so additive, if only it would just get warmer, even though temp was better today the day was dull plenty of bird song over the day wonder who will be the first to report nesting has started 🤔

I agree Ann, don’t know why we put ourselves through it at this stage because when/if something happens it will become obvious anyway . Just a keen couple of hopefuls that’s us Ann . Sue

Yes Sue I can’t walk away from it I just love nature and the great outdoors We continue hoping each year, my biggest Hope right now is the weather it’s just so changeable We have a wild wind and showers so I’m going to sit and do my ironing and keep one eye on the outdoors 😊

Well a visit early from pair blue tits today to the log box I had to go out this morning to my volunteering at the heritage garden so not able to watch It’s crazy weather here v cold again and wintry showers so not likely to see a lot happen
First visit I’ve noticed in the afternoon as well today things are just on the edge of starting I feel 😊

Love to think you are right Ann, really would love to see some action. Trees are starting to bud so spring is trying but weather is so changeable it must be confusing the birds as much as us. Sue

Beautiful frosty morning here sun out I’ve got up feeling hopeful of action today so instead of glaring at the outside of the camera box I’ve set up and the camera is on today in case there is a slim chance of a visit to the box and the female hasn’t quite made her mind up where home is going to be 🫢🤔

Visits to boxes this morning they appear to have not quite decided where to reside, to my surprise I looked up at the screen and I presume a blue tit beak was just showing in the hole, Hope I have more interest to camera box even if it’s a chance to see it go inside 🤞🏻☘️

Good morning Early visits to two of the outside of my boxes this morning, still appears no decision made yet. I’d be completely amazed if I had two active boxes, I’ve always believed I only have one pair of blue tits that come to my garden When I went to bird ringing and count last year he told me to x itby five around my close vicinity 😊 I’m aware there are definitely 3 this morning Of course one active box would be wonderful won’t be greedy 🫢 Great tits are back 😊

Fingers crossed Ann, I think things don't really get "going" for another 2 weeks though Normally when the more "serious" building starts
