Yes, lovely sunny day here on the south coast 
3rd in a row, and spring is springing! Although apparently it will get colder towards the end of the week..
I don't think the female has been inside yet, Paul, although she has stood on the outside of the hole whilst the male was in there. I know there are at least two males working the boxes, as well, because I had a live image of a male in each (opposite sides of the house) at one point this morning!
A little worried about Tony and Elvira, tbh, but I had a big gap between visits/nest building in my only year with a nest so far (possibly disturbed elsewhere, but who knows?) so I won't give up hope for quite a while. Haven't even seen them in the garden recently, either - they normally visit the fatball feeder in the day, although not that often. I'll keep a proper eye out today.
