January   February  
Its been a good start to the new year with a blue tit roosting in each box at night. Many species of birds using the feeders, bird bath and mealworm feeder.

We have a hedgehog hibernating in the hedgehog box, sharing with field mice.

February has started well with some reasonable weather although a bit windy, A Great tit has been in box 1, Omega is still roosting in  box 2. A Starling has been attacking box 1, and strange things have happened with mealworms.
March   April  
Aella has started pre nesting practice runs, but is still keeping her options open for box 2. Several Blackbirds must have chicks as they are making good use of the Hedgehogs food. The Hoggie is awake most of the time, and we had our first visit from another hog 
Spring is here and of course its snowing. Both blue tits are roosting at night, but as yet not much nest building has taken place. We are not holding out much hope for box 2 at this point but you never know
May   June  
Aella and Omega have settled on 10 eggs and incubation has started.

We are getting quite a bit of rain so lets hope things improve for later

 

Aella and Omega's chicks have hatched. The weather is better this year and all the chicks are doing well, although 1 egg has not hatched

July

     
Aella and Omega 9 chicks all seem to be doing well all 9 have been seen at the feeder.

Both bird boxes have been cleaned out ready for rooster later in the year.
