EXCITING UPDATE

With the snow and cold weather still affecting my tits and all the other birds that visit my garden, I'll be introducing a new way of monitoring activity in my nestboxes.

My partner, Sarah, bought my a wireless camera for Christmas, which means if one of my nestboxes is used this year, I'll have a separate TV channel to view their activity and any chicks they have.

This weekend I'll be fixing the camera up so stay tuned for the first pictures - if I can make it work!

In the meantime my feathered friends are busily eating through my supplies of fat balls, suet snacks, supreme bird seed and peanuts.

Among the visitors to my garden are blue tit, great tit, blackbird, robin, great spotted woodpecker, jay, dunnock, long tailed tit, chaffinch, woodpigeon, starling, wren and tree sparrow.
