The Waiting Game

For much of the Winter I moved one of the cameras to watch half of the back garden to see whether anything visited at night. I had hoped to glimpse a fox as they do visit nearby. Results - nil, zilch, not a sausage.

As the weather has warmed up a bit I moved the camera back to watch out for any spiky visitors. I would imaging one or two Hedgehogs will have woken up briefly on warmer evenings but so far it is still a waiting game:



The Great Tit is still roosting every night and makes a couple of short visits most days but still no sign as yet of nest building. Yesterday I cleaned out the Hedgehog House and put some fresh straw in. Occasionally I leave some food but the only takers have been a couple of mice. I haven't seen any recent activity near the diamond shaped nest box either.

  1. It is a good job they are not thinking of using a camera free nest box. There is plenty of time yet.
