Okay I admit it, I was late putting up the nest boxes! However it doesn’t seem to have mattered too much!<\/p>\n

I put the boxes up on the Sunday afternoon, on the Tuesday I had a message from home saying ‘There are Blue Tits in the nest box!’ by the Saturday they were taking in nesting material \ud83d\ude42 This has created a lot of interest in the kitchen – the best place to see them from.  I thought they might like a helping hand so have been collecting moss from the grass at work.  The Carrion Crows dig it up looking for leatherjacket larvae I believe and leave it in piles all over the place so I just scoop it up and bring it home!  I had been putting it in a fat ball feeder which they had been happily collecting it from but have now bought a specific holder for nesting material.  They have now been building their nest for nearly 2 weeks.  I wish I had bought a nest box with a camera in it!! <\/p>\n
