Aw, briliant - I was ging to get a camera you can put inside the box but would have put it in the wrong one anyway! We've put a few up and the one that has been used forthe last few years is empty and this family decided touse the one closest to the back door for some bizarre reason! Z

I am sorry I can't see them, its probably because they only come out in your private area!

I bow down to your ornathological knowledge

Am pretty buggered on recognising birds after pigeons and magpies lol

I can spot a flamingo too, but I don't think you see many of them in Bolton

We (me and Ex) used to get a lot of greenfinches in our garden, they are so pretty, he (Ex) used to get really irate though, cos the buggers would sit on the wondow sill pecking the window putty out

Very, very sad news - all the chicks died in the box - we cleaned it out yesterday, it was awful - poor little things, all that hard work wasted. On a positive note, there are loads of other new baby birds in the garden. Z

We're gutted - we noticed a fly in and out last week but there was still chicks alive as we could hear them and mum and dad were feeding them - than it all went quiet so we waited a couple of days then opened the box. Z

Thanks Cute, but that's nature I suppose, as for the magpies - just keep scaring them off and make sure there's always food at your table. Z

Tiptoes around a couple of Cuckoos in the nest...

Robins can have two broods a year, 4 to 6 eggs, and the chicks fledge about 14 days after they hatch... Google/ RSPB is my friend...;-)

My mother spends fortunes keeping the feeders filled... And we have all the tits, finches, sparrows, robins, pigeons and squirrels you could ask for...

Last year she had Nutaches and a pair of Jays... All of these a couple of metres from her lounge window...

Perhaps you both need to get out a bit more? It's a little black mark on your (I was tempted) screen. Not worth a heart attack.

Had the same by us. I left. Box of maggots from angling shop so the birds had plenty of food. Next to nest box had eight chicks one died. The weather is not helping either
