However, the snow in the second week may have put all thoughts of nesting on hold! In addition to the Great Tit which roosts in the colour birdcam box every night, we now have a Blue Tit roosting in the B&amp;W birdcam box. Hopefully our resident Tree Sparrows will take up residence in the Sparrow terrace nest boxes which Mr Marriot helped to put up last week. These were kindly given to us by a member of Ogston Bird Club.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1279 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/bluetit120313bw.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/bluetit120313bw-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Blue Tit in B&amp;W birdcam box\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/bluetit120313bw-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/bluetit120313bw-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/bluetit120313bw.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1281'>\n\t\t\t\tBlue Tit in B&#038;W birdcam box\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/greattit230113col.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/greattit230113col-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Great Tit in Colour birdcam box\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/greattit230113col-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/greattit230113col-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.strettonhandley.derbyshire.sch.uk\/wildlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/greattit230113col.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1280'>\n\t\t\t\tGreat Tit in Colour birdcam box\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Please leave a comment if you see any birds investigating the school nest boxes.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to keep an eye on the Derby Cathedral Peregrine Falcons; they are expected to lay their first egg any day now.
