I've had a couple of visits to check the nestboxes down at Linacre just recently. The season has begun well, with a total of 36 nests present. 34 of these are Tit nests, with both Blue and Great Tits on eggs. The other two nests were 1 Mandarin Duck (20+ eggs) and 1 Wren nest. Unfortunately, no Pied Flycatchers have been heard, or found this year.
The nests will all be monitored for the BTO's Nest Record Scheme, and all chicks will be ringed.
