I hope so Pete! Paul, no material yet....I told her to go to bed early, so she would have plenty of energy to start building! She was asleep before 6pm this evening.

Oh my bad Amanda, It looks like you've got a build up of straw and material at the very front of the box, Was that always there?

Paul, that is the wood that the great tits have pecked off the floor and the sides of the box

The blue tit has been in and out of the tree box taking the wood clippings out. No sign of the Great tits while this was happening! This is a view from outside my tree box Inside the box. The video stops around 3 seconds but does carry on The floor is a bit clearer

The BT is really going for it! I’ve just cut the grass so the birds can see the moss now

Brilliant videos Amanda, so good that she’s clearing out and getting ready for the off - just hope she and great tit don’t fight. Sue

I’m currently watching my female great tit in the tree box with 2 blue tit near the tree box. The great tit has sat tight in the tree box for the last 15 minutes or so. The blue tits are getting braver and have been on top of the box, they are aware there is a bird in the box. Where is the male great tit??

Any updates on this Amanda, did anyone give up or leave ? Sue The blue tits flew off and the great tit then came out of the box.... no fighting thank goodness. Since then, I have been in the garden clearing out the greenhouse. Just checked and nothing has been in since. I have noticed the male great tit has been going back in the box for visits early morning This was both of them this morning. The male is on the left

Great still Amanda, you can see the size difference and the slightly more vibrant olive green colour on the males back.

It’s all very quiet here, very limited visits. The weather has really changed from the sun at the beginning of the week to it feeling really chilly. We even had a few flakes of snow here this morning!

I think I have a woodpecker not a great tit! The sound appears a bit out of sync!

Lovely little video Amanda. My sound doesn't seem to be working on my busy box not sure if it's the camera end or the dvr.🤔
