I left my workshop door open for a couple of weeks and when I looked a a couple of weeks ago I found we have a blackbird nesting in an old paint pot, we can easily see the young birds in the nest now, mother sits on the nest while i go in and out and potters about, im just carefull to keep away from her and the nest and she seems undisturbed, so we can see all this live in the comfort of our own room :)
We have a camera in our bird box and the blue tit laid her first egg today. Quite late this year. We were looking for the first egg on the 28th April. The nest has been ready for a couple of weeks. Maybe with the severe winter we have had she has timed it for the grubs on the trees being ready to feed her young. Lovely to watch.
