I think my streaming live is struggling with my slow upload speeds I have to contend with where I live. I will try to persevere today.

That Robin is a quick worker!!!! This is really exciting. Good work on getting the streaming going. I'll be watching that for sure.

My DVR is set to give out an audible alarm whenever it detects movement in a box. I have turned this feature off for my Blue Tit box and Robin nest due to the large amount of activity as the alarm is quite loud. It went off 30 mins ago and I found this activity in our Sideview box around the back mounted on our shed. It could be our existing pair taking a nosy or it could be our male has found a second female or it could be a different pair.
Our female in our existing Blue tit box is continuing to build this morning and so I am tempted to believe it could be one of the latter two!

Thought I would give a quick update: Robin: The 3 day continuous building slowed down by Sunday. Since then the female is active carrying fine grass and now horse hairs to line the cup, lots of nest wiggles and weaving in of the hair. This goes on between 6:30am and 9:00am then she disappears for the day apart from the odd visit to the sunflower heart feeder. The clip below from this morning is typical(no audio). I am sort of wondering when egg laying will start? Blue Tit: Building has really stepped up since Monday, she is still roosting overnight. She seems to build in spurts of an hour or so. First visit of the today below(Audio works on this):

Love it Ben - looking forward to watching the robin all through to fledging (would love one in my garden).
Your BT's nest material is very similar (all moss) to my GT nest, not like my BTs in the Cherry, which contains quite a lot of long pieces of dry grass stalks along with moss and is at about the same stage as yours.

Couple of clips from earlier this morning. She arrived at the nest bang on 6:00am according to the recordings on the DVR! She seemed to want to sit until 8:30am but then left.

Updates: Blue Tit: Considerable building activity from Mrs Blue this last 3 days. Today I spotted her over in the back field collecting sheep wool, some of which has blue dye from the farmers ID spray. Clip 1 shows her return to the box with this same bit of wool. Robin: Clip 2 is from around 9:50 showing her last visit of this morning. She arrived around 6:15am to lay her 4th egg. She seems to be staying longer each day. Clip 3 is the last of this morning and shows a Great Tit having a nosy. I am a little perturbed by this and hope the Robin did not see this in case it spooks her.
