First signs of a nest
Mar 26th, 2008 by Chris
We’ve just turned the telly on to discover that several pieces of moss have appeared in the nestbox! We’ve been getting a bit despondent about the blue tits’ on going failure to do anything resembling nest building, so this is excellent news indeed. Unfortunately, although we recorded four hours from the camera this morning, it seems all the transporting of nesting materials was done this afternoon, so no video I’m afraid. We’ve changed the recorder to record all day from now on, so hopefully if anything else happens we’ll catch it.
Another exciting sign of spring that we’ve had lately has been the appearance of two large balls of frog spawn in the pond. We haven’t spotted the frogs responsible yet, but I guess they must be lurking about somewhere. There’s not much sign of our new lawn germinating though.
