This week, I've been up to Linacre a couple of times to have a first look at the nestboxes.
In total, 13 nests were found, with the first eggs, all tits, being found on 15th. They included two clutches of 12 eggs!! Several other clutches were still being laid. The owl boxes were also checked, but, unfortunately, this year, none were in use by owls. 2 of the boxes showed signs of use by Mandarin Ducks.
All nests will be recorded, and submitted to the BTO's Nest Record Scheme.
