Currently watching coal tit and long-tailed tit nest-building from the office window. Coal tits are in a hole in the house chimney stack, some 20ft up! The long tails are in a conifer, surprisingly close to one of our feeding stations, I thought the presence of other species at the feeders might have put them off this site. I havent yet checked which of my many nest boxes are being used by blue tits or great tits.

This afternoon, I found a nuthatch nest, a blackbirds with 2 eggs and we still have 14 eggs in the mallard nest. The ducklings should be due in about a week now.
