The Great Tit is spending the night in the box.

Great to see The Spitfire flying over The Forth Bridges at South Queensferry for its 90th Anniversary Tour.

In South Queensferry waiting to see a Spitfire due to Flypast at 2pm so while I wait I’m watching an Eider Duck with some Gulls.

The Great Tit nest is coming on nicely this was just taken a few moments ago.

Had a good afternoon Birding at my local patch, was nice to get out in the warmth. Today I saw Robin Woodpigeon Wren Long Tailed Tit Great Tit Stock Dove Crow Blackbird Blue Tit Magpie Mallard

Mallards at the boardwalk pond.

Since it’s warming up thought it be nice to go Birding at my local patch. Already seen Robin, Woodpigeon, Wren & Long Tailed Tit.

Today feels like the perfect day who Birding in my waistcoat.

Promise to calm down with the nestbox but Great Tit had been busy this morning. There were 2 in it and one point.

Busy morning for The Great Tit.

Back bringing in more twigs. It did struggle to get some big twigs in and flew off with and came back with smaller twigs.

Wishing you all a Happy Easter Sunday . I hope you have a great day and hope The Easter Bunny was good to you.

Great Tit nest this morning. Coming along nicely.

Thought The Great Tit had given up because I didn’t see it at all yesterday afternoon but now it’s back bringing more twigs in the nest.

Nice waking up hearing a Blackbird singing in the distance.

After what feels like years I’ve got a Great Tit building a nest in the camera nestbox .

Would like to wish my followers a Happy Easter. I hope you have a great weekend.

Blossoms starting to appear.

Can’t believe we are in April already. My April blog is now available to read on my website. theedinburghbirdwatcher.com/2026/04/01/a...

Had a nice walk on The River Almond, saw a Dipper flying down the river.
