...........I have noticed that pigeons have started nest building in a nearby tree, so have switched to that to see how that goes for the time being! UPDATE Thursday 6th March - we have a very scruffy nest and now an egg! ...........Now two eggs! .......................have put the bird feeder camera back online after recent upgrades to buxtonweather computers- 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 or 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, CLICK HERE!

Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK Met Office.:
..................Thursday 20 Mar - Saturday 29 Mar
Fine and dry across the majority of the UK at the start of this period, although a few showers could affect the far north and far south on Thursday. By Friday and into the weekend, there is an increasing likelihood that rain or showers will spread from the south or west with most parts of the UK probably seeing some showers or longer spells of rain at times, perhaps accompanied by strong winds. Some heavy rain may develop, particularly in the west. Into the following week, unsettled conditions will probably continue across many parts of the UK. Some heavy rain or showers are possible at times, these most likely across southern areas. Temperatures will be above normal at first, probably falling back closer to average later.
Sunday 30 Mar - Sunday 13 Apr
Confidence is low, but blocked patterns are most probable for the first half of April. This can lead to slow-moving areas of low and high pressure and depending on their location can result in extended periods of either dry conditions or, perhaps more likely, wetter episodes in the form of rain or showers. Either way, whilst temperatures overall may be near average, given the time of year this type of regime tends to increase the chance of periods of below average temperatures at times...............................................
If you click on any of the tiny adverts, on this page, in which you might be slightly interested - then Google pay me a penny or so! (I stress that it costs you nothing at all, of course!). That makes a little money each week, which helps with the costs of Cameras, Weather Equipment, Sensors etc, IT Equipment, and Website Hosting for the website - PLEASE do not think I am begging! ...........I am delighted, that you have you have visited buxtonweather.co.uk, whether you click on an ad or not! ...
