Hi everyone. We had no birds nesting in either of our boxes last year. We had replaced the back box with a new one with better camera but no luck. We weren't expecting anything much this year as the weeks went past.
However, we turned on our front box camera and saw a female great tit bringing in nesting material 2 days ago. Tonight she has started roosting in the nestbox. I am wondering whether this is the pair which used to nest in our back box as she trills to the male when she is in the box, something we've not seen/heard in any of our other nsters over the years. I also wonder whether this is a 2nd attempt for this season. In 2019 they laid another clutch a day after their first chicks fledged and in the same nest.
Hoping they have clicked with some better weather over the next weeks!
