Unsurprisingly it’s the nest box that has seen a nest every year since
it was introduced in 2008.
As yet the identity of the birds building the nest is unknown, but
judging by previous nests the suspicion is it is a pair of blue tits.
The nest camera will be getting plenty of views over the coming days to
try and put a name to the nest builders.
The other nest box camera, which is part of a three section nest box
set up, has not seen any nesting action, and it’s likely that once again the
other two sections of the nest box will be used for nesting.
It does seem as if spring has literally sprung into life in the last
few days, and the wildlife around the garden has responded accordingly.
Bees are buzzing around the garden, taking drinks of nectar from the
growing number of flowers in bloom, while the dawn chorus is in full flow –
some days it acts as an alarm clock.
Spiders are busy constructing webs, hoping to trap the increasing
number of flying insects, while the insect eating birds are hoping to capture
some of them to feed up before the nests are completed and eggs laid.
It’ll hopefully be then that the caterpillar bonanza will occur and the
newly hatched chicks will benefit.
