IMAGICAT
In May, come he will
In June sing all day
In July change his tune
In August go he must
No affront meant Trevor

Eeeeeeeeeek! Thanks for the news! I just checked and there's no thread in WildlifeOnTheWeb yet (where it usually resides) - I'm going to hold back until nearer to hatch time.
Ignore me if you know that already.

Bart molenaar said:they have 4 cams on the nest
Yes - YouTube Channel here.
But we had a misunderstanding - I'm talking about the RSPB thread that covers the Sydney Perries, where (eg) Sunny Kate, Wendy Bartter, Limpy & Clare post.
Packing up time, SYAL :)))
A few little birds today, some on perch but too small to snap. Samples - Great Tit and Blue Tit:
28 August
For the record - nothing of note seen all day/evening - occasional little birds on the dead tree, very occasional percher, unsnappable.

I don't know, Trevor - and for the past couple of years we don't seem to have managed a full off-season of feeder, something's gone wrong and the cam's gone offline. Fingers crossed for this time.

I have to soldier on dutifully while the cam is up.
29 August
Who says we're finished?
It flew up to the perch for a while but I haven't added that on, it wasn't a good view - then a minute or two later it could be heard doing its scrapy tweet.
I have to shut everything down and reboot now, as I've lost internal network... again!
Splendid chappie - thanks Scylla
