Although some of our
bird boxes have gained some nesting material over the last few days, none seem
to becoming a nest - it is still a little early for nesting - especially while
it remains cold! - if things change, will place a notice and link here
straight away - in the meantime, as a consolation, we have noticed today that a
pigeon has nested in a tree at the front of our house - and has one egg (now two
eggs) !! - live
camera installed!-
- It is interesting to note that the pigeon
does not seem to leave the nest for food very often - but unlike blue tit
chicks who each need an incredible 100 grubs a day, baby pigeons feed on "crop
milk" produced by female and male pigeons, for the first week or so! ("Crop
Milk" is a gloopy milky nutrition produced in the bird's crop, by male and
female birds to feed chicks)
It also seems that the female pigeon sits on the nest from evening to the
morning and the male does the day shift!
I have put the
bird feeder camera back online after some changes at Google meant it was blocked
- you may see a warning that it is "NOT SECURE" - but of course I am not asking
you for credit cards of anything like that so it is NOT a security risk -
some may still find that the feed is blocked - please try another browser like
Edge of similar to see if that helps - "You likely have lots of birds of your own - but
if you want to watch birds at a feeder, in a tree in our garden,

Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK ©Met Office.:
................Tuesday 2 Apr - Thursday 11 Apr
Next week begins with some uncertainty, but it looks likely that we will see a
return towards more widely unsettled conditions as another area of low pressure
pushes across the UK with changeable weather likely largely dominating
throughout this period. Most areas look likely to see further showers and some
longer spells of rain at times, although interspersed with some drier spells in
between. It looks likely that a north - south split will be set up across the
UK. The wettest weather will tend to favour the south whilst northern parts
remain a bit drier on average. In association with this split in general
temperatures will be close to average, but it will be occasionally cooler in the
north, and milder in south.
Friday 12 Apr - Friday 26 Apr
Through mid to late April, pressure is likely to be higher than average to the
north of the UK, with low pressure more likely to the west or southwest. This
pattern tends to push the focus of unsettled weather further south than usual,
with largest rainfall totals more likely to be in the south of the UK.
Conversely northern, especially northwestern, areas will tend to be drier
compared to normal. A trend towards more settled conditions in the latter part
of this period is growing more likely, of course this not a guarantee at this
range. Temperatures will probably be near average or slightly above overall,
with any cooler interludes most likely in the north early in the period.................................
