Spring Cleaning

How lovely to hear the birds singing once again.The male birds are singing to attract female birds and to establish their breeding territories.Our bird boxes were already being checked out by    Blue tits in January.Don't forget to give your bird boxes a good spring clean,removing the old nest material and making sure the drainage holes are unblocked.We discovered a group of Field mice snugly curled up in one of our boxes.....of course we left them alone.On the bird feeder this month we have seen....   Blue, Great and Coal tits,Chaffinches,Robins,Nuthatches,Great Spotted Woodpeckers,Siskins and Dunnocks. Please keep feeding the birds......especially during the winter months.
