I have noticed over the last few days that Great tits are in and out of my garden nesting box and today one has stayed in the box while the other is back and forth. is it likely they nesting/laying eggs already on 2nd March or are they just getting it ready to start laying?
Im very excited as I’ve had the box up for 4 years and have only just noticed it finally being used.
Hi Ceilidh, it is a bit early for eggs yet, I would think, it is most likely that they have been sussing out nest boxes and have taken a liking to yours. If there is activity, hopefully they will stay and nest. They like to flit about and find out which boxes they like, sometimes even start making a next, and move residence. Hope they stay with you.
