NestCam Update
!
We've had no visits inside the box since I last posted pictures from it. Not giving up hope yet, though, because last year things didn't kick off properly until 13th April.
I don't think there's much nesting activity going on up here yet - I've got both moss and wool in the garden and it hasn't been touched at all so far.
The garden is busy on-and-off: It's busy on cold days and then very quiet on the warmer/brighter days.
No pics from the garden at the moment - the closest hanging feeders currently contain nesting material - and no one seems to want that yet! I'm trying to keep the area near the nest box as quiet as I can so all food has been moved further away for a while.
So, until I can take some bird pics, here's one of Albert the greyhound enjoying a run on the beach. He wears a muzzle off-lead at the moment as he's still got a very strong chasing instinct - which currently includes small dogs called Frou-Frou. Once he understands they're not rabbits or hares I'll be able to throw the muzzle away!

This is a beautiful picture of Albert. Hopefully, he will be rid of the muzzle very soon.
Our nesting activity (much further south, in Warwick) started very suddenly on 30 March. Up to then we had a couple of scraps of moss, but after a visit from a great tit that day the blue tits went nuts and worked relentlessly to get their nest set up. One's just started roosting each night.
