He/she has been in-and-out since the 1st of February. Been lots of pecking, measuring, standing back (surveyors report, solicitors fees, stamp duty, etc).

...reckon it's as good as sold.

Anyone else seen activity of late?

I'm making some more bird boxes this weekend but I wish I'd done it sooner.

One of our boxes has been given it's first inspection today. It counts for nothing though. Last year the blue tits started nest building but abandoned it.

Yes have a couple of pairs viewing have 4 boxes up, 2 of them have great tits roosting in them, don't know what's going to happen. Last year raised 6 in one of the boxes now used for roosting. Don't know if I have to clean it before nesting.
