Great to see Amanda, mine started this morning but all gone quiet now, but she must have been going at a hell of a rate from getting up. Good luck with yours! Fab Karen, pleased to hear yours has started. I don’t think they are going to do anything in this box, she brought a couple of beak full of moss in and I’ve not seen them since. Good luck with yours Karen

The bonking box is back. I read something about sparrow behaviour that said the males will mate with their proper partner out in the open and their 'bit on the side' in private.

Haven't you got any nests this year Amanda? shame that nothing become of the blue tits Strangely enough Paul, there has been a a lot of activity today from a pair of blue tits. They have been visiting box the tree box doing nest wriggles etc At the end of the video below, one of the blue tits comes in with a piece of bread and feeds it to the other. Then this pair started to bring in a few bit and pieces in to the garage box. This evening a have a rooster! So who knows what’s going on

Oh Amanda Lovely to see you have a late blue tilt nest starting, I’m really pleased for you. All I can do is hope the great tit has a second brood, at the moment they are busy getting their food from my feeders, so I will be on the look out for evidence of nest building hopefully.and who knows will they choose a box of mine im just watching your live video

Evening all! I hope you are all well? Ive got my first rooster! I guess it is the same great tit that roosted last winter I have replaced my tree box with a home made side box and slightly changed the position. It is still on copper beach tree though.
