Well on way home from our trip away near the coast and new forest I’m hoping everything has been on hold with the miserable cold weather and not missed anything I’m so hoping to have a nest no matter which box Temp is much warmer today. 😊

To be honest Ann, Its slow this year here! Our nests are normally complete by now, But the weather as been rain rain rain and cold the next few days are going to be sunny and in double figures so I think by the end of next week she will be done which is still late by the standards of past years. I think things will get going for alot of people over the coming days! fingers crossed for you

Yes same here horrible Even though we have some sun today we had a chilly day it’s the north east wind that is annoying Keep hoping that’s all for it to improve

Same here Ann. Last 2 years I think they've started before the end of March so the weather is holding them back everywhere. Fingers crossed next week will see some action.

Oh Ann, I so hope you are wrong and another pair arrive. I know how frustrating and disappointing this can feel. I will still keep everything crossed and hope something changes. Sue

But as others have said, never say never? My local GTs were clearly still looking for somewhere only in the last few days.

I hope a late comer finds your box . I'm going to put some wool out tomorrow and will probably see mine take some off to other gardens. I think I'm kidding myself thinking I will get ax nest this year. It's just too quiet

I know the feeling very well Sammi Each day I hope and know it’s just to quiet to happen and all the time the birds are else where

I think I will give it another week and then turn off the cameras or at least change them to hedgehog mode but even they seem to be avoiding the garden

Really hope things pick up in the coming days, very quiet here too, she started building last weekend and has only been bringing the odd bit in and taking it out again, maybe a quick visit each day, maybe she is biding her time till she gets serious, time will tell.

She’s just making sure everything is in place for the nest to be completed They know exactly what they need to do it’s us that are left puzzled all the time good luck anyway Karen Nothing going to happen here now I’m certain of that

Well it’s more like autumn weather here Going to be wet and windy most of the week No wonder the birds are holding back from nesting and raising their broods

Horrendous weather here Ann, just hope all the little birds are tucked away somewhere safe for the next couple of days Sue

I had honestly given up. I have everything crossed for you. Even this nesting pair that have started a nest at mine don't seem to be in any rush

Thanks Sammi It’s certainly been a late slow start this year I would love to be wrong and end up with a surprise I don’t wait in any more just staring at my boxes I’m not gaining anything by doing it 🤔

I’ve no idea what is happening here (if anything)with the birds I’ve been away visiting my grandchildren the last 3 days 😊 Prior to that I had stopped looking as it just wasn’t happening
I will link up my camera today I’m truly not expecting anything unless it is reason for a reject from another nest site 🙏🏻🤞🏻
Ps It’s a cold wind here and all far to quiet no need to get camera switched on as I said my season over
