Well finally I’ve got my hubbie to change the position of my side view camera box which has been up for at least 5 seasons and never been used
it is under the arbour now it’s made a turn of 45 degrees hopefully they like the new position and use it it should be covered over with a clematis and a rose for the spring
this is my very last chance position wise
can but hope 😊🤞🏻☹️

Good luck to you Ann. Sounds as though it will look attractive and will hopefully attract you a family 🤞. Cleared my balcony box this week and found a fully formed and feathered chick among the nesting - obviously I had more eggs than I had been able to count. When they had all gone I could see nothing in the nest , hence I left it until now to empty it 😢.

Sue So sorry about the chick, wonder what happened for him not to fledge Wish you all the best for 2024 I am flummoxed Karen. The nest appeared empty after all fledging, not a sign of anything still in there, and we found the tiny chick within the nesting material. Can only think it died and was trodden down by its siblings. Part of the nest was difficult to see because of the angle of the camera but I was sure we had counted all eggs and hatchlings and matched up to fledglings 🤷♀️. Not that I can do anything now but I am going to go back over all my camera footage to see if I missed anything. Sue |

It is a mystery Sue, somehow they do seem to keep surprising us. Was it at the same development stage as the other fledglings? Ones that perish when very small are often taken out by the parents so perhaps it was too big and just got trodden in bless him.

 Sue im sure they will return for you you will have to slowly introduce your hubby back onto the balcony even now while they are visiting and increase the time spent out there so all will be ready for the birds at the nesting time.🤭  hubby,s just don’t get it at all do they well the blue tits and great tits are back at the feeder yesterday and also I saw a goldfinch yesterday which pleased me I will be watching today for sure😊

 Good luck for next season. We thought we had cracked the wires into the house by drilling a sizable hole through into the spare bedroom but a returning son meant a rethink  Now the wires are all coming through a window in the lounge. At the moment I'm monitoring hedgehogs but as the weather gets colder the window will have to close or maybe another hole?

What a good life he has Sammi, not a care in the world just put his head back down on his cosy bed
Lovely clip
Hope you get it positioned where you don’t need a window open
Good luck for the new season😊

Hi Ann. I haven't got any roosters either. It's all gone quiet really apart from the feeders and they are very busy. I'll be closing the window next week so the cameras will have to go off. Maybe we will have to drill another hole  Hope you see some action soon |

Hi Sammi
Yes I’m pleased to see the feeders busy again.
I will look out for any rooster from time to time but so far not seen one
Time passes by quickly we will have the season back and we will keep wondering again
