Thank you!

Bit of cheat as it's motion censor camera that I got for Christmas. Hopefully I'll get some shots of them fledging, if they're successful, as I always miss it.

It takes night time pictures too and last night there was a cat but I get excited to see what I'm going to get. Although with all the activity at the moment I'm getting over 200 images every 24 hrs Takes for ever to look through the videos etc.

Wish I had more to put around the garden but it would be a fulltime job looking through the images!!!!!!

This the bird box, and I put the Japanese maple in front of it as they like that and gives them a bit of camoflage



See if you Can spot the blue tit in the cut down tree in my garden right near the bird box, he was waiting for me to move away as he had twigs and stuff in his beak to take in the nest, I often hear them tapping away inside the box

Love seeing the photos - think I need to pull my finger out We have loads of different birds in the garden using the table where we put the scrap parrot food but have never got around to putting up nest boxes - something to add to the list

Put some up, put some up!!!!!!!! Even now, although a little late, we've done it at this time of year and we've had them nest. Great to watch...

My son loves his garden birds and we have several bird boxes in different locations and in all shapes and sizes to suit different birds. We also have a batbox. I love watching the bats swooping about when I go to shut the chickens in at night in the summer.
There's nothing like watching the parents in and out of the nestbox, feeding their babies and then watching the babies fledge. Such a lovely time of the year.
