It’s the closest to the nesting season I’ve ever had chance to see them on camera. Always had plenty of interest on the box in the buildup to the season, I’m taking one day at a time as things can take a twist. But I do know I’m able to watch daily now as. I’m retired and stay at home mode. the camera will be set every day now. I took the front off and swept out the difficult cobweb she was struggling with,she got hold of it in her beak and pushing with her leg. I know I have been lucky having successful nests over a long time but never one that I can watch that is mine, I do enjoy seeing all the clips on the forum, but would be wonderful to have it in the side view camera box. I was looking at last years post,I had visits in March, then they changed from side view box to my log box and had a family,

I’ve just sat outside after spending the morning in the garden and what did I see at least 3 double visits to the side view camera box. How pleased am I. Mr and Mrs blue tit keep the visits coming and I will try to get a photo later on Spring has sprung here today, beautiful sunshine, so wonderful to get out in the garden

Another sunny day ahead once the thick fog clears, I’ve switched on the camera ready for an action packed day of activity, I’m feeling positive it will have tenants this year. I only have one pr of blue tits and a pr of great tits around, plenty of choice for the wren to hopefully visit a box I’ll be over the moon if I just have the blue tits to watch from inside the box
