I've noticed the Males are getting more colourful, when do they start nesting? A bit early isn't it yet? Or is it? What about other breeds?

Chaffinches usually start breeding in April. They will be taking on breeding plumage now though.

This is a nice little site that give breeding time, incubation periods etc for common birds.
