Blue Tits and great Tits have been visiting the box outside the Infant classroom every day and a blue tit often roosts in the box at night. Recently a pair of Tree Sparrows checked out the box, perhaps this year they will nest in the box rather than destroy other bird’s eggs!

Update: 28th April – 5 eggs spotted in the nest!
I spotted a pair of tree sparrows in the box this morning. Hopefully they will behave themselves this year. A couple of years a go, a tree sparrow destroyed some of the eggs of a blue tit which was nesting in this box.
It looks like some great tits might have started nesting in the box.
After a rather half-hearted attempt at nesting over the weekend, the great tits managed to build a quite acceptable nest yesterday using mainly moss. But what have they added today!? It looks like a lot of wool. The blue tits nesting in the colour cam box have also been adding the same material to their nest.
A bird is sleeping in the box tonight, a great tit I think because it looks bigger than the one sleeping in our other box. This is the first time I have seen it at night time
big fluffy bird i hope we get eggs again
Bird is asleep – must be all the hard work
I can believe how many eggs there are! I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for them to hatch, although I guess it should be quite a while before they do.
Birdcam rox! (:
We’ve been wondering for a few days now whether there were any eggs buried in the nest. When the Great Tit left the box this morning, 5 eggs were left uncovered. One of the Great Tits spent quite a lot of time sitting on the eggs during the day. I wonder if any more will be laid tomorrow.
