With Spring approaching (despite the very wet, cold weather of the past week or so), we have been checking and cleaning our collection of bird boxes:
- and this has included the bird box with the camera in the roof, linked to the monitor in the Guest dining/sitting room:
we have changed the size of the entrance to the box and we hope we've timed this right for the start of the nesting season. We have just noticed that in the last couple of days there are signs of the moss on the lawns (lawns ...?!) being collected by birds for nest building:
So, whereas last year we set up the bird boxes a bit too late, we reckon we may have timed it better this year.
While the smaller birds are getting their nests prepared, we've seen that a pair of ducks appear to have claimed rights to the pond - they've been there every morning for a week now. And the big heron is still circling the garden, flying from tree to tree. Not sure what his plans are, but in fact he's spoilt for choice around here, as there are lots of ponds and small lakes dotted all over the countryside - but it's good to see him, even if it's only temporary:
