April 1 - 2

Both great tits returned to roost in the box and 1 April but on the morning of 2 April one bird left the box leaving a shower of feathers behind which seemed to indicate that there had been a serious falling out. That evening only one bird returned.

Still no signs of any nest building.

April 3 - 11

Since then one bird returns to roost each evening but there has been no other activity. Daily vigorous tapping sounds are coming from a nearby box which doesn’t have a camera.
