While helping with the #winter #nestbox clear out at #WWTCastleEspie this morning we found a couple of #nests with single #eggs but also this sad discovery; an #abandoned #Bluetit nest with six eggs
Hopefully they’ll have better luck this year

(note: first days there is not much to see as they mostly sit on the nest to keep them warm)

Short update. Settled on 6 eggs and it's currently quite cozy in there #nestboxcam #nestbox
Despite the recent inclement #weather, #spring activities are proceeding apace on the reserve at #WWTCastleEspie.
This #nestbox has been occupied every year and obviously this year is no exception.

11/52 The baffled starling box
During a photo walk the other day, we came across a rare being. It seemed a bit lost somehow. But in a very endearing way. We became friends immediately.
