After a phone call to the guys at Spy Camera CCTV, I tried once last go
at fixing it and somehow it worked. Whether it’ll work for long is another
question!
The camera revealed inside the nestbox a nest in the first stages of
being built. I’m not sure which bird is doing the nest building but I’m hoping
to catch it in action soon.
I suspect it’s a pair of blue tits and can’t wait to see if they
continue to build it – I suspect it may be delayed due to the weather and lack
of a spring, but perhaps this is a sign that wildlife knows spring is on its
way!
The other nestboxes aren’t being used yet and while I still have hope
for the new sparrow ‘hotel’ the other two are very unlikely to be used this
year.
One other exciting development was the sighting of an animal I’ve never
seen before around my house – a stoat.
With a number of farms nearby, including a chicken one, I’m surprised
I’ve never seen a stoat or weasel around, but given that I first thought this
stoat was a leaf blowing in the wind, it’s not surprising.
It was too quick for me to get a picture, although now I know one is
around I’ll be on the lookout for it and possibly others in the future.
