Hi All Well, it appears that at the moment I have poo clearing going on by BT and a little grass and moss coming in to Higher Wall Box 1. I also have been having visits to both Box 2 and Starling Box! It's cold today but no reason to stop visiting! Still a little early to be sure but looking promising!

Hi all Had some more visits from a pair in my lower wall box this morning despite it being chilly but as always not sure if it will be allowed to progress with the others keen on Box 1! Last year nest building started proper on March 16th so Box 1 is early. Springtime Ann --- I'll try my best with my commentary if 'CheapCam' is still working when I get it dusted off!!!! Matt-- fingers crossed for you, you are due a nest this season after being so patient & all the work you have put in for your birds. positive news that at least they are keen to view the property!. Sammi I have been fine thank you waiting for my jab at the moment.....hope you are too? Yes it is exciting to see if we will all be lucky again this year. Paul -- Yes you are correct 'giving Flo vibes' but I don't think it's the same bird though perhaps it's one of Flo's youngsters? Good luck to you for 2021. Speak soon Kathy

Kathy, lovely to read all the updates from you & wonderful news too about the grass & moss in that box! It's really cheering to know that you're the first one to have signs of normality - we are still stuck with the cold, dank & misty days & it seems ages since we last saw the sun. Even so, there are plenty of sparrows on the seed & Mr. Robin is making a glutt of himself on my new fat balls - so lovely to see him everyday now.

Hi Kathy I’m glad to see your getting signs already, am I mistaken, but wasnt you first on here in 2019 to get signs of nest building?? Or have I gone mad anyway, good luck Kathy Elle xx

Brilliant Kathy! You kept the start of that nest quiet - they must have been going for quite a few days judging by the amount of material in there?

Hi everyone Just wanted to say that you may not see me on here for a while. I had bad news last night, hubby was coming home from work at Telford and had a stroke at the wheel on the motorway hitting two cars. He was taken to Stoke on Trent A&E where he was assessed. As you know we live in Loughborough and I cannot go to the hospital to see him because of Covid. I do not know at the moment what the outcome will be but I hope he will be able to recover. I am feeling very upset as you can imagine so do not feel like birding at the moment.
