Nesting season underway.

 I checked fourteen of the boxes at Chase Park Farm this morning and two have lined nests with eggs, three have fully lined nests but no eggs, three have full moss bases, four have bits of moss and grass and two are empty so far.

Whilst walking the farm a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker was drumming in Yardley Chase, which is adjacent to the farm and a Common Redstart was singing along the main farm track.

A trail camera is positioned in front of the bug hotel and caught this nice image of a Red-legged Partridge.
