Nest Box Inspection

Monday, March 6th 2017

We mentioned on the blog last Tuesday (28th Feb) that our camera nest box was selected for roosting in by a blue tit. Well, it’s been back to roost quite a few times since, but today we saw some different behaviour: We spotted a blue tit giving our camera nest box a thorough inspection!

It's getting to that time of year when birds are starting to pair up and look for possible nesting sites…fingers crossed that this box will pass the inspection and be selected for nesting. We’ll have to wait and see..!
