Very pleased at the moment, I had our side view box on and blue tit come in and at first I thought it was just my rooster so didn't pay much attention.
But then it jumped up on the hole to go back out and as it did it had a white ring on its left leg tried to get a picture but it had left the box (times like that I wish my cameras was on a recorder)
looking back over my notes, The white ring bird was from 2016 and was born in our "tree box" female laid 6 eggs 4 hatched and 3 fledged (this was the year our male had 3 females and I had 3 blue tit nests)
Last time I seen a white ring bird was hm june of last year I believe, Even if it doesn't go on to use my box I am so pleased its still alive after 4 years and still in the area.
Seems to be a few of my ring birds knocking about this season, I hope to god one uses one of my boxes i'll be overjoyed!
Anything happens i'll update straight away, All my boxes have been so active the last few days seem to be different pairs coming into the area so box hunting is well underway!
