    Just seen Mrs Great Tit move into a nest box on my workshop, probably ready to lay her eggs. So exciting.

    Anyone else got any birds nesting in their garden this year?

      Welcome back Jungle Jane. :)

      I have Blue Tits nesting in one box and the other one is still empty but being investigated by another pair. I think it may be a little too late for them to start now though.

        We have Blue tits nesting in our soffits for the first time, at least two pairs are going in and out at the moment, they squeeze through a very tiny gap! They have ignored my bird box though.

          John I'll swap your Blue Tits for the pesky Sparrows that nest in mine every year.

            Sparrows are very noisy so you can keep them sheal
