Welcome Andy, great to see you have a nest starting! Whereabouts in the country are you?

In the south west, near Bath.

Thanks Andy. I think you are one of the first on here to get underway, although Paul had some material brought in yesterday I believe. Most of us are still (im)patiently waiting!

Actually, the box has been occupied all winter by a rooster, I assume it's one of the pair nest building now. We have also had some interest in a second box, which is quite exciting

Paul is right, Andy - better off in the main nest box forum. This sub forum is more about links to third party streams, we put all our own boxes in the main one! I can move this whole thread for you if you want - let me know.

Andy, welcome to the gang. We are all besotted with birds and their nesting habits. I'm glad you've got such a definite nest starting.

So is it likely the female is the rooster?
|
|
|
Post by WildlifePaul on Mar 17, 2021 20:21:55 GMT
Yes it will most probably be the female bird

Post by methley on Mar 18, 2021 11:50:56 GMT
Not quite so frenetic yesterday and probably as much material going out as coming in!

Sounds like typical behaviour Andy, Mine here don't get into more serious building until the very last week of March.
