Default Blue Tits

Well since then, frantic activity on a daily basis. Birds in, birds out.
Nesting material in by the lorry load, well no, someone will pick me up
for
that, 'lots of it', complete with beakfulls of mossy stuff over the last
few
days.

Today? No activity whatsoever!!

Why? Now sitting, or, dummy nest and they are on another nest somewhere?

Your thoughts please.


IME in warm springlike weather many species do nesting activities, then
when we get a cold spell (normally in mid-April) they put the mesting on
hold until it warms up again. Unless she's actually got to the point of
laying eggs, anyway.

Thanks for that Sue

Bluetits about and on the feeders, but nowhere near the nest.

Tons of Blackbird nest building activity in the Bay Tree. We have two Bays
in the garden and both have signs of nests in them. Bays grow like weeds in
out gardens:-((

One of mine sneaked into the nestbox yesterday afternoon then came out
and hung around in the tree. And that's all I saw of them all day.

Weeds grow like weeds in mine.
