Visitors that have followed my website over the years may recall that for the last 5+ years I have either had no nests built or nests abandoned. 2024 was looking like it was going to be another year of no nests, until I decided to take one more look at […]
I was hoping things would change, but sadly the male and female House Sparrow abandoned their nest (in Box 3) on 10th April 2021. After this, there was a number of visits made to Box 1 by the pair. They did bring in some bits of material but gave up […]
