Just watched a lovely little coal tit in our garden working away building a nest. Our neighbour’s cat Smudge likes to wander round our garden (thankfully not at the same time as the coal tit), Smudge is a massive ball of white fluff and casts his coat everywhere so this little bird has been collecting the fur and looked as if he had a massive white beard. Looked like Santa🥰. I wasn’t quick enough to get a photo but that’s my mission for this afternoon.🤗

How lovely to see the coal tit at work building a nest. 👍🏻👍🏻 We have nesting boxes up and 3 of them are being investigated by tits (blue tits in our case) and the blackbirds are busy picking moss out of the grass (good excuse not to treat the lawn!) and building their nests somewhere out of sight.
How are you doing? Hope you’re doing well🤗. UTI is better thank you, felt rough on Wednesday but antibiotics are starting to work.
It was lovely to watch today, made me happy to see that with all the madness going on there is still some normality in nature. Looks like the coal tit is building a nest in the tree at the bottom of the garden so fingers crossed she and the family will be a regular feature. It would be lovely if you had some visitors using your nesting boxes, fingers crossed.
I’m doing okay thanks Froggie. Glad to hear the UTI is much better. 👍🏻
Yes, the birds are a joy to have in the garden and hopefully we’ll both have young families soon. The boxes have been used in previous years and hubby cleaned them out ready for this year, so fingers crossed.🤞
I collect sheep wool for my birds. One of the bluetits carefully wrapped wool around its legs to carry it to the nesting box, which I've never seen a bird do before. I was quite impressed!
