tomburras 2,721 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Well for the last 2 years the camera box was unoccupied apart from spiders and all sorts of other little visitors so during the winter I had a bit of branch trimming to do so cleand the box out again and after a bit of bodged repair work i then moved it a bit higher up the tree and onto another branch. Then we had this blue tit checking the box out the other week... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomburras 2,721 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Last night she slept in the nest (as they allways have in the previous years they nested there)..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomburras 2,721 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 She is back now shaping the nest... He is in the tree kicking off at any bird that lands in the tree including magpies. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stealthy1 3,964 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Got Blue Tits outside my back door, filling a nestbox. Last year they were in the other box, at the bottom of the garden, they made the nest out of the fluff from my GSD's tennis balls, a dayglo nest when I cleaned it out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,536 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I chuck the fluff from the tumble dryer out into the garden at this time of year Cheers, D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squeamish5 309 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 What a cool thing to have. Looking forwards to updates. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomburras 2,721 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Will do. I'm not really a tv watcher but it's using the tv so it's annoying the girlfriend when I'm lookin to see whats happening when she is watching the soaps! I'll keep the thread updated.

tomburras 2,721 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I reckon she'll get addicted to the nest cam Tom. Wildlife cameras show sex, violence, incest and family disputes....just like an episode of Eastender's (so I'm told).Funny you mention that the stuff I seen with the bluetits fighting on the grass between eachother metres away from me while fixing my vehicle I could have picked them up and they would have carried on I bet. So strange! I diddnt see them all winter. The joys of nature very suprising. All in a small urban front garden in a quiet culdesack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomburras 2,721 Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 They have been Buisy! ...... They are in the box a lot of the time now making a tight weaved nest cup and started to line it with dog hair and feathers..... They regularly flap about to keep the nest cup pushed out and the right size... So its looking promising! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
