Day got more exciting as it progressed. Two of my Acer seeds germinated last night and blinking heck my good lady was correct we have young in one of my nest boxes. Two blue tits were telling me in no certain tones to vamoose from under their nest box but it didn’t dawn on me why, until i heard scratching and squealing coming from the box above me. Had to apologise to my good lady as i thought she had mistaken what she told me she had heard the other day. The adult Blue tits went straight to the box as i walked away so i intend to avoid all nine boxes at points around our garden in case more birds are in occupancy. Hope the year continues as today. Now going to put my hard hat on and tackle Tiny,s play station construction (LoL). Take care all and enjoy Tony

Oh, that's lovely! But really early? You'll have to make them up little hot water bottles for night time! Gosh, Tony, by the time you avoid all those little next boxes, you'll have nowhere left in the garden to walk!! I hope they're ok!

Hi Tulsalady Yes i was taken very much by surprize my self. My good lady had put me on to them being in the box but i thought she had mistaken the fact somehow. Still amazed at the finding though. Thankyou and take care Tony

Hi kfunster Reveiw and replace seed feeders and grease ball,s almost every 3 days now. Blooming bird population seems never ending(LoL). Take care enjoy Tony

Shiver me timbers its me number one again! 9 Boxes on site Elizabeth but so far only one known to be occupied. I am leaving rest to the birds to use as they see fit. Yes i can see your point about walking around the lawn ,but its the dive bombers that may herd me into my little palace. I cannot win its intruders through the floor boards or bombers from the sky. Tis a very hard life. Take care number one Tony
