I'm pretty convinced I have 3 female blue tit roosters at this point, purple tree box, side view box and swift box.
Side view box and purple box are pretty active daily with the females cleaning the box plus visits, Had the odd nest wriggle aswell.
Swift box female although keeping it clean isn't really visiting much during the day, I guess this is good because the camera is black and white in this box with it being a swift box and they like the dark.
Saying that if she does choose to nest in the box i'll leave her to it black and white or not.
Sue, Yes blue ring blue tit is very much still around, See him on the feeders everyday, Hes not really checking my boxes out now though, But saying that if he's male my females are checking the boxes out themselves with roosting in them so they don't need him coming in visiting.
A male did come into my side view box and fed the female the other week though, He didn't have a ring on so could be a different male in control of my area, We will see I guess.
Very active with the blue tits at the moment though.
Sparrows are a given to nest again bringing material in already and things, So just waiting to see what happens with the blue tits now, All looking great so far hopefully I don't jinx it!
Here's a little picture of the purple tree box at the moment, Females just finished cleaning out her overnight poo, currently chilling and she done a nest wriggle before.
