They’ve been back every year since we’ve lived here (8 in total), so I
remain hopeful, yet impatient.
The weather hasn’t been the best for returning summer residents in the
UK, with snow just a few days ago in some areas.
Now the weather is becoming summer like, almost bypassing spring.
The blossom on the trees has now all be blown away by the heavy winds
of the last week and is now slowly being replaced by green shoots of leaves and
buds.
For the time being I’m enjoying listening and finding birds singing in
the trees, although that probably won’t last too long if the temperatures and
sunshine continue.
The two bird boxes with cameras are not showing much, with the house
sparrow box showing no signs of any nest building, while the house sparrows in
the blue tit nest box seem to be getting a little shy and have almost covered
the camera with nesting material.
I might try and move it, so the camera can show something, but only if
the birds are away from the area and there’s no eggs on the nest.
I've also found a new nest, well it's a nest site that I've noticed being used before, but not for a couple of years.
A pair of blue tits is building a nest in the crevice, left by crumbling bricks, of an outbuilding behind the house.
No sign of the robins, blackbirds or great tits nests, but I'm still looking.
