Elizabeth reckoned that a bird would soon go into the box. It did, and we watched several visits on the TV. Almost the first time it went into the box, it tried to get up to where the camera is. It managed to peck at the lens once, but it normally could get a grip on anything to stay there. Its behaviour is just the same as last year's bird, and we are wondering if it could be the same one. (See the diary for March 2001 to read about our problems with the bird attacking the camera). We have the TV sound turned on, and we can recognise that familiar noise as a bird lands on the entrance to the box, and goes in.
Today Elizabeth saw a bird on the entrance to Box1. It spent some minutes looking in, but could not quite pluck up the courage to go into the box. There were several more visits during the day, but no entries as far as we are aware.
