Blue tit looking in one of my nesting boxes

Great photo Amy lovely to see it taking up residence

You could have tenants soon Amy :-)))))

Thanks Sixpence / Louise it spent a long time inside checking it out so i'm hoping it liked it and stays , it's on the side of the garage :o)

I put 2 up about a year ago and it would be great if i had tenants too !!!

Fingers grossed for you Amy.

Thats nice to see the birds using it........

Lovely Amy.......love the colour too!

I hope you do to Louise , this box has had them in before , thanks Carole / Holly / Janey .. .. they know there's a good Cafe' outside their door ...LOL...

He was probably measuring up to see if his furniture would fit. Hope he moves in, Amy.

I do as well Gee , I can see this one from my kitchen window so I can watch the coming and going .. .........

how wonderfull amy, hope you have tenents :o))

Good luck with the nest Amy.A pair of blue tits were prospecting in one of our boxes today.They do tend to check them out earlier than other birds.........

How exciting :-))))

I hope so Sandra .. I hope you will have a nesting pair as well Ray , this seems to be the favourite box in the garden they don't always nest in the other ones ....it is exciting Dawn I like to keep an eye on when they lay their eggs , they say that we will have good weather 6 weeks later to coincide with the eggs hatching so that there are plenty of gnats and insects to feed the young on ... :o)

Lucky you that would be good news, will watch this space.

:o))

Isnt it heartwarming to see, we had a pair of Blue Tits inspecting the box at the front yesterday its been up four years but never had anyone nesting in it yet, so fingers crossed!

Perhaps they will nest in it Carole I hope so for you ... does it face north-east , it mustn't face the hot sun .. :o)

Nice box, I used to have either wrens or bluetits using one of the boxes during the winter, and sometimes they nested in another in the summer. Perhaps they crowd in to keep warm.

Thanks Lindak , I have read that as many as 60 wrens will crowd into a box to keep warm in the winter .. can you image that ?

They'd be out in the cold if they were argumentative....LOL

Ame
you are nice to Birds, they love nesting boxes. I have a nesting box fixed up on a Cedrus deodara tree. A pair of Minas has taken its possession since last 4 years. The nesting home seems to be so good that the Minas breed 2-3 times in one year

Thank you Arwadoo , you are lucky to have a pair of Minas nesting and breeding so often in your garden , they know they are safe with you .. .. do you have a photo of them ? :o)
