Hi
We build a birdbox with a camera for my parents garden over 2 years ago.
For the last 2 years a single Bluetit (we assume the same one) has come in in the spring and stays the whole time.
It doesn't seem to have a partner and doesn't build a next, is this normal? We were hoping for a pair to breed, but just seems to chill in its own company?
Thanks for any advice in advance
I'm no expert, so hopefully someone will reply with a more definitive answer. The female tends to build the nest on her own, and amid all that nest building, will also need to seek out a mate, so I'd say it is normal.
If I'm wrong, then hopefully someone will correct me.
