    Is it too late to move the box?

    *sigh* So they have been using the box for a few days but we had really rubbish weather yesterday so I didn't see them at all. This evening they have been in the garden - the female to frantically collect dog hair and fly off with it in the same direction each time, and the male to look in the...

    Is it too late to move the box?

    I heard the male calling early this morning when I was in bed. Haven't seen either of them but I've noticed there is a new hair /fur around the entrance that wasn't there yesterday.

    Is it too late to move the box?

    That is lovely! If they are both here tomorrow I will have to give them names. It's funny how you can bond (even if it is one sided) with wildlife isn't it. My husband thinks I'm nuts - I made him wait for his tea tonight so I could sit watching for the birds to see if I could see them both...

    Is it too late to move the box?

    Euan have you got eggs yet or are they still nesting? I find these two go for a few hours and then come back

    Is it too late to move the box?

    I didn't see them this morning but I thought I heard the male calling. The male has just been down and calling loudly but I didn't see the female. He kept flying to the box and looking in, coming down and calling, so I don't know if she is in the box or where she is. He did this the other day...

    Is it too late to move the box?

    It's on the wall.. Just waiting to see if they will come back in the morning (I'll be up at the crack of dawn to watch before work). She's taken a lot of fur/animal hair in there today so we will have to see

    Is it too late to move the box?

    The move is going really well. I only go out when I am 100% sure that they have finished their nesting and gone off for whatever they go off for. She is taking lots of dog hair off the line today so I'm sure she is nearly finished. The box is at a height now and close to the final position so...

    Is it too late to move the box?

    Thanks again for the replies. So they were back nesting yesterday afternoon after I'd slid the table over about a foot to a raised section we have. I had to wait until today for my other half to help me move it further though. The tits were back this morning bringing in a lot of nesting...

    Is it too late to move the box?

    Thanks for the reply and the warm welcome :) Yes I could move the table closer to the wall gradually. I'll put a bracket up ready to put the box straight on so I don't have to mess about with it too much. A blue tit was inspecting one of the hung boxes earlier but they are currently quite...

    Is it too late to move the box?

    Hi all, I made three nest boxes a couple of weeks ago. I managed to get two out of the three hung but didn't get the third hung and had left it on the edge of the garden table. Typically, a pair of Great Tits have shown interest and are now busy taking nesting material in to the box on the...
