Tuesday 5th April (part2)

Twenty minutes later, she is still apparently unhappy with her nest.  Kelly picks up a feather ...

  ...  and flies off with it.

However, removing nest material is now unusual and she appears to have nearly finished the construction of her nest.

It's now late afternoon and Kelly has caught Boris interfering again!

This time there is no prevarication - Boris goes immediately leaving Kelly to check that all is well.

"He'd better not come back again today!"

It is now 7.30pm and once again Boris is hanging around the nest box.  Is he thinking about roosting?

Well, he may be!  Here he is entering the box.

"Looks nice and comfortable in here now!"

He clearly thought better of it - or perhaps he heard Kelly outside.  In any event, Boris decided to leave the nest box.
