Today The Great Tit arrived at 7.10pm. Hopefully this week will see some eggs
No picture tonight but The Great Tit was back in the nestbox at 7.20pm.
Really enjoyed Sam & Abe Go Birding on Channel 5 last night. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a show focusing on Birds. www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen... @rspb.bsky.social
The Great Tit always come back to the box to roost roughly the same time every night at 7.20pm.
Happy World Puffin Day.
This month’s issue of Bird Watching just came through the letterbox with an amazing photo of The Puffin on the front cover.

The Great Tit this morning moving nesting material around no signs of eggs yet but don’t think it will be too long. Past few days she goes off most of the day and comes back to roost in the evening.
Just arrived back after busy day.
The Great Tit nest this morning. The Great Tit has continued to roost in the box overnight and continues to go out for the day and returns.
No I didn’t I couldn’t stay long as had a train to catch I got his book signed when I saw him in Edinburgh last year so I didn’t need to stay but it was a good evening.
I didn’t see you I was looking out for you . Did you meet Hamza?
Really enjoyed the talk by Hamza Yassin @hamzayassin.bsky.social for The Scottish Ornithologists' Club @scottishbirding.bsky.social 90th Anniversary in Kirkcaldy, a big turn out if he’s near your town go and see him.

To reduce disease, we all need to make some urgent but simple changes to how we feed our garden birds.

The Great Tit is spending the night in the box.
Great to see The Spitfire flying over The Forth Bridges at South Queensferry for its 90th Anniversary Tour.
In South Queensferry waiting to see a Spitfire due to Flypast at 2pm so while I wait I’m watching an Eider Duck with some Gulls.
That’s a shame doesn’t look like it’s going to everytime I’ve been.
