It was a typical Spring month in March, very warm weather for a few days in the latter part, followed by very cold weather with a scattering of snow. I wonder how it affects the arriving summer visitors, perhaps postponing mating and nest building for a week or so.
The Blue Tit in the camera box that started to build a nest now looks to have abandoned it. There has not been any activity there for over a week now, perhaps a mate is proving hard to find.
To make up for the Blue Tit disappointment, a Blackbird has built a nest in the ivy and appears to be sitting on a clutch of eggs. Fingers crossed that the pair successfully raise a brood.
Apart from the regular House Sparrows and Herring gulls the garden and immediate area has been very quiet. I’m hoping that may change next month.
Stay safe, stay well.
