I'm sorry to say that the first Treecreeper nest I found in late March has been predated, probably by a woodpecker judging from the damage to the bark.

I'm not sure when this happened as I left them alone for a while to get on with the business of breeding.
At least I have found another nest in a small copse just a short distance away so I'll follow the progress of that pair for as long as I can. The nest hole is too high for me to get the endoscopic camera into, so I won't know when the eggs are laid or hatched.

Meanwhile at the Mere, a bit of drizzle in the morning brought the Swallows and Sand Martins down to feed, and they landed on the wire to rest every now and then.
