Bluetit Diary    Mar 2005 (7)

 

 

Sunday 13th March (part2)

Life in Box2 goes on as usual.  Kelly and Boris seem to be becoming more used to each other's presence.  Boris used to depart immediately Kelly entered, but this time something more intimate happens.

Here Kelly at the top has just followed Boris into the nest box.

This time, instead of disappearing straight away, Boris lets Kelly approach him quite closely.  It looks as though their beaks touch!

"Come on them - don't just shrink down like that" she seems to be saying.

But that was as much as Boris could cope with.

He ups and goes as usual.

Both nests are still quite empty of any nesting materials.  Still, the weather is forecast to get warmer during the coming week, so perhaps that will turn our birds' thoughts to more serious matters!
