Saturday 9th April (part4)

But that wasn't all the excitement for the day!

Shortly after 5 o'clock we see that Carlos is perching on the roof of the box.  Judging by his posture, something is up! 

After a few seconds, he pops down on the hole - and there he hesitates a bit.  Perhaps he notices that something has changed - but he decides to go in anyway.

Here we see Carlos inside the box looking intently towards the entrance.

All is now clear - we've seen that posture before.

Ah!  Here is Megan.

Now can you see what I mean?  I think Megan can!!

Perhaps Megan has a headache - at any rate she doesn't appear very interested, so Carlos has another try at persuading her to join him.

This is Carlos's second try - and still Megan isn't interested.  She looks into the nest box at Carlos - not today José!

No joy!  Megan has departed.

A poor frustrated Carlos looks out again.

Finally, he gets the message - and flies off!
