Breeding Birds During Lockdown - Part 1

This post features images of breeding birds from Dawsholm Park LNR which is within walking distance of our house.  All photos were taken between April-May 2020 and haven't been used in the Blog before.

Monitoring of the Friends of Glasgow's LNRs nest boxes showed that 10 boxes were being used by Blue Tits, 8 by Great Tits and one by a pair of Nuthatches. Only one box was left unused. This shows the importance of these type of nest boxes even in a wood with many natural holes.

Over the next day or so, I'll post another series of images featuring breeding birds from other sites within walking distance of our home.
