Thankfully next week looks dry and temps rising from 8 to 14/15 so should give everyone a big boost in activity. misc_crossed

Yep, I think next week is the week Paul. Certainly if we get 10 days of sun, mild temps and no wind (as predicted) and I still haven't had another visit then I might start getting a bit twitchy. Fingers crossed, as ever! It can all change in an instant..

I think most people will get building next week, If not they should get first nest material atleast.
I am hoping next week gets Tatty really started for me, Still only got 1 piece of moss and few small pieces of straw she must of brought in this morning because they wasn't there yesterday.
Only seems to visit during the morning, That I miss cause cameras aren't on. But you know they have been in cause moss moved and today abit more material.
I remember in 2015 I had a female who only visited my box at 9am every morning yahoo_rotfl

I kid you not every morning 9am without fail she would come in either with abit of material or nothing do nest wriggle and then nothing till 9am next day! eusa_doh

This happened daily over 2 weeks until she was serious about building.
Over the years I have seen all different behaviour, Female who start early but take 4 weeks to fully build nest, Then females who start late and take 2 days to fully build it.
They really do keep you on your toes! eusa_snooty
