It is terrific.

And we showed a clip of it on the Today Show the other day with Dahi and Sinead.

And it was really wonderful.

There you go, Ken, back to what I was saying.

Easter Sunday.

Anyway, so it is the nesting season.

This is when there's a lot of birds nesting.

And the one thing we made very clear on the programme the other day was do not interfere with nesting birds.

Let them at it.

It's wonderful to observe them.

And this camera and box has been in place well before the nesting season began.

14 days and 21 days to fledging.

Well, no, the blue tits haven't come to my box this year.

And I think it's because where I live backs onto the airfield truss and they've cut down all the trees and the cover is gone.

And I just wonder, has that made a big difference to the bird coming and going from the nest box?

And it's decided it's too risky.

But I still was in hope that, well, maybe it'll come in later.

But you're absolutely adamant that blue tits do not have a second brood.

Well, if you think of all the trees that have been cut down behind me, I mean, the amount of food now that's been taken away straight away.

No, but still, those trees are right up on my back wall.
