Busy building a nest!
#Sittidae #VC64

In the garden today one Nuthatch is keeping guard whilst its mate is busy trying to modify the inside of the entrance hole!
The nest box is affixed to the trunk of a Wych Elm that supports a colony of White-letter Hairstreak butterflies. The nuthatches have nested here since 2021.

The Nuthatches are back! 😀
We were beginning to think the worst, with no sightings in the garden since last summer, but today a pair are very busy taking nesting material into the box.
Were they waiting for the Spring Equinox, the new moon or just some sunshine?

We have now had five successful years of Nuthatch broods in the garden nest box 😀
This year was the earliest date of fledging.

The garden Nuthatch chicks have started to appear at the nest box entrance hole! 😀
I suppose that they will be ready to leave the box very soon.

OH. MY. GOD.
I first saw this #bird on my birthday, and I was upset that I couldn't watch them. I FINALLY SAW THEM AGAIN!

It’s a busy time of year for the nuthatches!
The only British bird that can walk down a tree trunk.

Spring has arrived in Baildon but I can’t help thinking that the new tenants look a bit bad-tempered!
