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 fairly cool! - 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) (NOW TWO CHICKS BEING FED!!)  !! - 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, CLICK HERE!

Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK   ©Met Office.:
...............Sunday 21 Apr - Tuesday 30 Apr
High pressure should ensure a fine and dry day for most of the UK on Sunday, and in any sunshine and light winds it should feel warm. Perhaps cloudier across some northern and eastern areas where the odd spot of rain or shower is possible, although these should be light. Into next week the high is likely to withdraw to the west a little, and this will open the door to cooler and less settled conditions, with some rain or showers mainly affecting the north and east, with the best chance of staying dry across western and southern parts. After a brief warmer interlude on Sunday temperatures are likely to trend back toward or a little below average,
Wednesday 1 May - Wednesday 15 May
Around the turn of the month high pressure will probably remain close to the UK, with a good deal of dry weather continuing for many areas. As we move further into May signals are finely balanced between drier than average and wetter than average conditions. As such fairly typical conditions are likely, with some good spells of dry weather just about anywhere, but also some more unsettled, showery interludes. Temperatures are likely to trend toward the warm side of average........................
