Wondering if blue tits that are currently nesting in a nest box near our house has been abandoned due to a very noisy lawnmower coming from a neighbour’s garden? I’ve not seen any activity today.
Have you any idea how long they've nesting? Some info on nesting/ incubation/hatching/ fledging times here ...

There’s just no activity all of a sudden, the male has appeared a couple of times and just sits on a branch then goes. But nothing at all today. I’m so upset about it. But don’t think there’s much we can do about a lawnmower. It seems ridiculously loud, can’t even hear my tv when they’re using it. It’s a company that is hired to cut their grass as the owner works abroad. He even wears ear defenders. !! The best box is perhaps located too near. Probably move it in Autumn for next year. Thanks for comments.
