Sounds exciting John! I am preparing my nest boxes, but won't move the cams in until later as they are all on feeders at the moment!

Have spent today moving cameras around my garden and put two into nest boxes which have a Blue Tit roosting in each hopefully they will nest in them, plan to fit a camera up in small conifer tree where a robin has nested the last two years, have two other larger boxes up and if birds show an interest in them I hope to put cameras in them also.

This year I have taken to feeding birds on two large birdtables which I am finding much cleaner and easier to use, instead of hanging feeders, only have two hanging feeders one for peanuts and one for fat blocks, one table has 5cm netting around it so only birds smaller than Blackbird can feed on it, the other anything can feed on it. Also I am using a wheat free wildbird mix, more expensive but much less wastefull.
