Spring is on its way
Mar 11th, 2012 by Chris
It’s been a warm sunny day and there are plenty of signs of spring in the garden. The end of the garden is full of primroses and there are at least eight frogs hanging about in the pond, and masses of frog spawn. As yet there is no nesting activity going on in the nest box, but there was a pair of blue tits checking it out today, so hopefully something will appear soon.
Last year sparrows took up residence in the box. It might have been nice to have the change, but sparrows are messy nesters. The huge ball of stuff that they piled in completely obscured the camera and we couldn’t see a thing.
We have seen a great tit roosting in the box in the last few weeks, but he seems to have given up on it.
