How lovely to be able to watch them. We've blackbirds nesting somewhere nearby and I had a horrible thought they were in the ivy on the bottom fence which is about to be replaced. Having been clearing it today I'm pleased to say there was no sign of a nest.

Really lovely! I wouldn't get anything done if I had a nestcam - I'd be sat watching them all day. Fascinating. Thanks for sharing these photos with us.

We have a pair back in our box attached to the house. We've had them nesting in that box for years, but the boxes way up the garden on the trees are never used.
I'm currently watching the neigbouring cats...grrr!
