Mrs blue tit finally seems to have finally stopped bringing nesting material into the box, and the nest now looks complete. I will just leave you with a screen shot of the nest as I leave to go on holiday to Devon for a week...
The image doesn't quite show the colours that I am currently viewing live on my laptop screen but I hope you can get the idea :-) She still hasn't laid her first egg so I guess that will come whilst we are away. I wonder how many eggs we will see when I get back...

Exciting times Joe and fascinating videos below. I hope when you come back from your holiday you will have good news for us :)
Have a good time!
Great stuff Joe. It's beginning to look as though my GT nest has been abandoned but at least I can keep up with developments in your box.
Hello again Joe, delighted to see you have a finished nest this year :-D
Enjoy your holiday and fingers crossed for eggs on your return. I know you'll really enjoy following a family in your own garden. Good luck to all there :-)
Hi Jan, John and Shirl,
Jan- I know, it really is exciting stuff. I will post later today about what has happened since I have been away :) Thanks for the comment
John- Sad to hear that your great tits appear to have abandoned your nest box. I wonder why they would have done that? Hopefully, you will get some luck some time in the future :) Thanks for the comment
Shirl- Hi, thanks for the comment. Last year we had a nest abandoned half way through nest building, so it was great to see them finish it this year. Will post later about what can be seen in the box now :)
