Matt's boxes 2021 BANANARAMA

Fingers crossed for you Matt 
I'll look out for your updates! 
If anything picks up in your stone box here i'll let you know but so far I am in the same boat has you with her, Its lucky I have a fully built nest in my tree box or she would be sending me loopy! 
The fact that a fair few people still haven't had the first material though is making me think maybe they are waiting, Its just weird in my garden because I have a blue tit whose literally finished her nest  but this did happen last year for me, Our tree box female was sitting on eggs when my second female was just finishing her nest! 
Looking back on my thread from last year she started really smashing nest building on 21st April by 25th April she laid the first egg so i'll see what happens

The same here, lots of singing feeding and flitting about, rooster still roosting, a week to 10 days we will know one way or another. I so hope we all get one of our own to watch    

She was in and wriggling again this morning (no material). The madness is setting in for me

 hang in there Matt.

Oh my days, she must be very picky

I hope things pick up Matt. I thought things were going well for you a while back. My bluetits have vanished into thin air almost ....well around the nest boxes anyway. They do still come to the feeders though. It is freezing cold in comparison to normal spring days and this hopefully why things have gone quiet although having said that it doesn't seem to have stopped the sparrows who are still building.

It’s banana time Matt I’m so thrilled for you, you must be so excited well done  Think she will continue in that one just the cold weather slowing it down 

Brilliant Matt, I understand your caution as they can change their mind in a second and you dare not believe you are that lucky to e chosen but its looking good, keep up the good work Elvira

Certainly a more promising sign Matt!
Our second female brought a few extra pieces of moss into the stone box this morning, Haven't seen her since! 

It's all new for me, Paul. My only nest before, she came in one morning, did one wriggle, and started building immediately - and didn't stop for a week. This was 4-5 days of wriggles, before 2 minutes of building, 3 days away, and now another 30 minutes of building (after a few more visits with wriggles beforehand). She doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry, put it that way! or else she's got another nest on the go somewhere else as well, and this is some sort of backup plan..

All the very best with the blue tit nest, I wish you all the luck that it goes well, I await your updates Matt

Crazy weather it’s snowing here, the birds must be so confused, have you warmer temperatures where you live 

Oh wow   Yippee 
just adding some bananas
