Bluetit Diary    Apr 2003 (11)

 

 

Thursday 10th April, 2003

Well, both our birds have been very active today, although we didn't cotton on to Fluffy's nest building until far too late in the day.  You can see from the pictures taken earlier that for the past few days, Fluffy looked as though she was disposing of a nest, not building one.  And then, at about a quarter past seven, we switched to her nest and saw it transformed.

 

To start with, we have some pictures of Fantail continuing to build in Box1.  She was coming in and out all day, carrying mainly moss but sometimes some wool.  We only show a small selection of her trips here.

This is some wool brought in first thing; and here is some moss about four hours later.

More moss   ..   ..   ..   ..   ..   and yet more wool!

Still more moss in the late afternoon.

And this is the surprise that we saw when we looked at Fluffy's nest!
Someone's been busy today  ..  ..  ..  

Here's more stuff  ..  ..  ..  ..  ..  and now yet more moss.

But will she keep it up tomorrow?
