aye, were hit badly by a disease seem to remember, we havent had any since we moved in ( December ) then all of a sudden a coachload has pulled up
We had a Bluetit pair inspecting the new bird box at the weekend. They spent hours coming back and doing the little nesting shuffle dance that’s supposed to indicate they have chosen it as a nest. But they’ve not been back today so I’m not sure.

Oooh we have activity! She’s started to build a nest!!

Latest - the nest is pretty much finished now, and Mildred is starting to fuss about in it a lot. I wondered if sh'ed laid an egg and I couldn't see it but she's still moving stuff around, so it's probably still to come. George has started to bring her food.

That's fantastic. That bit she decided to chuck out. Bless her. This better have a happy ending. I can't actually watch Springwatch for this very reason.
I’ll warn you early then - they will probably have about 8-10 eggs and not all of them will live to leave the nest. Last time I watched her trying to take a dead body out of the very small hole.

Oh dear. No I probably couldn't cope with that. I know nature's brutal, but I don't always want to watch.

This place is brutal yet you’re a regular on here…

Different kind of brutal. On here it's just, to quote Hamlet, 'words, words, words.'
How have I missed this thread
Just read all the way through it from the start and it’s class. Fingers crossed for this year’s brood.
She’s bedding down for the night for the first time. We might have an egg in the morning!

Although if there’s a nest in there now you shouldn’t disturb it or you might scare them off.

Ok, right, I'll leave it 'till next year then .
We have an egg!
Not long until Springwatch
This year is going too fast
Looks like a chick in the corner, but it's just bird nest material
