it takes ltts a while to complete there nests so they start early

found another one last night looks complete on outside but they line inside with feathers so might take a little longer

Great find that

found another one last night looks complete on outside but they line inside with feathers so might take a little longer

I learned a while ago that the long tailed tit use,s a lot of spiderwebs in the building of there nest due to the strength of the web and because it allows the nest to stretch and grow as the brood of chicks get bigger, an interesting bit of useless information I thought I would share
