Well here we are again, another winter over (although it must have come as quite a shock to all prospective new parents, to be be confronted with a downpour of the white stuff only last week!) .. However, it doesn't seem to have put them off ... This year, I am pleased to announce that Billy & Betty have set up home in the nestbox, and hopefully they will attempt to raise a new brood of Blue Tits ...

Here we can see the pair for the first time :

Inclement weather or not .. We can see that Betty has been a busy girl, and has produced a clutch of 10 eggs ... Let's hope that the recent cold weather hasn't affected them ..

I've only today switched on the cam, so not entirely sure when the eggs are due to hatch, but the cam will be on continuously now, so I will update with any developments.

Let's hope for a successful outcome ...
