I have no cameras in my bird box & garden, so I've no idea of course what any of my birds are doing in their nests. From our kitchen window early mornings, (I'm up long before dawn for the majority of the year) I see a lot of happenings at least. For the last couple of weeks two lots of sparrows have been going into two different places in the ivy on our Big Shed, one lot in the big left side & the other in the ivy at the front, near the left door.
Yesterday morning, I saw a male blackbird watching big birds very closely when they were underneath the place in the big ivy where I saw a female blackbird diving in & out regularly ...... possibly a nest in that part of the ivy too?
Ooops ... a confession!
I haven't told you any deliberate fibs about having only one bird box, which I think was an RSBP one twelve years ago, which has had nests every year from 2008, but we did buy another bird box from a Garden Centre eleven years ago. It's wood with a slate roof, metal entrance hole (size unknown) & it's on the house wall on the right of my seat. No interest in this one over the years (only dust in it) until 4 days ago, when I saw a great tit fly into it, saw him once more yesterday & once today.
I won't know whether it was used or not (unless I see something more of value than that) until late August when I'll ask our daughter to take it down for us to have a look.
