Hello Natalie and welcome to the forum. Had you been following us mad lot on the old forum or just found this one? Just curious. You will find we are a really friendly bunch and we all try to help one another. I am useless technically but everyone has been very patient with me and it is a great forum to belong to. Good luck with your super new box. Do keep us updated with any visits etc. Things don’t usually start in earnest until March, but visits seem to be a bit earlier this year for some. Good luck. Sue

Yes, from me too Natalie & your box looks very nice & new - hopefully it will soon be occupied. As Paul has said, everyone is very friendly on here & we're all as daft as brushes when it comes to birds!

Natalie and a big welcome to the forum waveee0 As others have said, we are a friendly bunch who are there for one another, if it’s your first time with a nest box & camara, your in for a real treat & rollercoaster ride. But believe me, it’s worth it if your lucky enough to get a nest and fingers crossed you will . Nice looking nestbox Natalie, your hubby may soon regret buying you it when you become addicted to watching nestcam and not paying him the attention . There are a lot of hubbys’ what go through this phase when the ladies are on here during the nesting season, so tell him not to worry! Best of luck Natalie and keep us updated with lots of pictures Elle xx

Hi Natalie yes totally normal and a very good sign too. Referred to as nesting wriggle I believe. I always imagine they do it to measure up as they do it in all different directions. Looking good for you

Very good news Natalie about the seven visits you've had already & I hope they decide to nest in your box later on.

The wing dance in the box you are speaking of is called the "Nest Wriggle" as sammi pointed out Natalie, Its a very good sign!

That does look promising Natalie. If it happens that you get a nest to watch we all know you will be hooked, it's fascinating to be a part of the secret world of Blue Tits.
