Can't believe how fast this year is going, Time to make my thread for next year.
Currently have 2 blue tit roosters, Expecting another 1 or 2 over the coming weeks if past years are to go by.
Good luck with the upcoming season in a couple of months guys, Looking forward to seeing any changes people have made!
Here's a little video of our log box rooster

Wow, that is early Paul. However, the birds know they have to get in first to have a home in your busy garden  . Really pleased. Sue |

You know what these birds are like Sue, no excitement until full nest building begins change their mind like the weather! Haha
I fly out to America next Monday aswell (27th February) get home 10th March so hopefully something happens during my time out the country 😂
Going to Disney land in Orlando with Cheryl (literally her favourite place in the world) going to ask her to marry me while over there so it’s a big holiday for me she’s got no clue what’s about to happen!
So if I am quiet over the coming weeks that’s why

So if I am quiet over the coming weeks that’s why Great to hear Paul! We visited Orlando and the Gulf Coast several times in the 2000's. The best rides used to be in Islands of Adventures park next to the Universal theme park. Busch gardens is also worth visiting for some great roller coaster rides and fabulous gardens and wildlife. It is a hour and 20 mins drive over to Tampa. We land back in Manchester at lunchtime on that Monday 27th February after nearly 7 weeks in Goa, India soaking up the sunshine in 34 degree heat  . I will be switching our cameras on next week hopefully to find some visits and roosting. Have a great time with Cheryl. |

How lovely to see Paul, and such beautiful clear video/pictures. Just been to my daughters for a Mother’s Day lunch and so jealous to see blue tits busily in and out of MY old nest box with building material . They must have entirely filled the box with the amount of visits they made just whilst I was watching . Sue |
