Just when we thought winter had dealt it’s final cold blast, the ‘Beast from the East’ is returning, with more Siberian winds.
Luckily the birds are not in full-on nesting mode, but they
certainly have been scouting for sites and one pair have been roosting
overnight in one of the nest boxes.
Unfortunately the camera is not working in that box, so I’m
not sure which bird it is although, given a pair of blue tits have been
spending time around the box recently, I suspect it is them.
With both cameras seemingly down, an investment in another
one is due, although depending on when it arrives, and the length of the cold
spell, I might avoid the nest box in which I suspect the blue tits are planning
on taking as a nest site.
Plenty of bird activity around the feeder, with the peanuts
and seeds being favoured by most.
The robins are even feeding when we’re quite close, so I
hope one day soon I can show my young girls how tame they can be.
The flora has taken the end of the cold spell to mean it can
introduce buds and start the blossoming process, but I hope it’s not left too damaged
by this new bout of cold weather.
The clocks spring forward soon, which means better
opportunities to witness the wildlife in the evening, and not marginalise the
viewing until the weekend.
