Hi All
12 days back from nearly 2 months in Goa and still adjusting to the 35C difference in temperature!
I switched on the cameras and the DVR during Thursday nights extreme blizzard and was glad to see the same pair of Blue Tits roosting in the boxes as per my last picture. By the amount of droppings it looks as if they have both used these two boxes over winter. The pair of Great Tits are regular visitors to our feeders so I am hoping they will adopt the same box as last year but this would mean them evicting the roosting male Blue Tit again, hopefully without the same fighting!
I reckon nesting will be much later here given the cold March. Below is a picture of our back garden yesterday afternoon after the sun had melted quite a bit of the 10 inches of snow we got. More snow forecast for this afternoon until midnight when hopefully the thaw should kick in.
Looking forward to warmer Spring days and here is hoping everyone gets a occupied box this season
