Sunday 6th April, 2003

Another day of slow but steady progress in Box2.  Perhaps Fluffy and Flash have got the idea at last!

"What are you doing here - you're always interfering."   ..  ..  "Oh dear, caught again!"

"No wonder I can never get anything done."   ..   ..  "A bit more here, I think."

Fluffy always seems to do one wing nest wriggles and we had been worried that as well as her unusual feathers, she might have something wrong with one of her wings - even though she seems able to fly perfectly well.  However, at last we managed to find pictures of her doing both a left and a right wing wriggle.

Here's a left wing wriggle ..   ..   ..   ..   ..   ..   ..   ..   and here's a right wing wriggle!

Why does she only use one wing at a time?

We shouldn't have tempted fate by complimenting Fluffy yesterday.  Today she seems to have spent most of her energies removing moss from her nest box - and just look at the result!

She'll have to do better than this if she wants to raise a brood!
