Did you know it had been *until tomorrow anyway* National bird box
week?

I watched hardly any news all last week so didn't see it anywhere.

Don't forget that national birdbox week (which just precedes the start
of egg laying) is followed by "national watch your language fella"
month. As the female birds visiting the garden grow in stature to
accommodate the eggs inside them, we gents must remember that if we
are observing the bird table out back or (particularly) the tree in
the front garden, we must studiously avoid using phrases like "Look at
the size of those tits!".

I'm having a panic - noticed some water in the pond
in between the frog spawn.

No, it's not been publicised. However if anyone is thinking of putting a
nest box up for the first time, February is the time to do it.

Most of the advice I've seen is to put it up a few months in advance of the breeding season to allow birds time to get used to it being in their landscape. February seems rather a longtime in advance --- unless they're really going to use it the instant it's up?

In January J put up a birdbox for a friend who is temportarily disabled,
and called her out to have a look at where he'd sited it. By the time she
hobbled across her garden .. maybe 10 mins.. blue tits were in and out of
it.

February *is" a few months in advance of the breeding season. You might
have to trust me on this.
Put your new boxes up in February.
