Update on bird boxes

 

Things are looking up in Newditch plantation!

 

Apart from 3 boxes with no activity, and 1 occupied by a bunch of snails!, the other 10 boxes have either 1/2, 2/3 or fully completed nests.

Box 8 has 2 eggs but both were uncovered and felt cold :-(

 

The birds have been busy since last week!
