This was the sight that greeted us this morning!

Has Kelly started for real this time?

Boris enters the box.  

You can see a white feather on his back that I have circled with a red ring.  This is an easy way of telling that the bird is Boris and not Kelly.

Kelly comes in with more moss.  Its not very obvious in this picture but she is dragging quite a big wodge of moss behind her.

"Off you go - you're getting in the way again"

Poor old Boris!

"Right - now let's sort this lot out"

Shortly after she goes out to collect more moss.  Luckily for her our lawns are full of the stuff!  It's even loosened for her by the Green Woodpecker looking for ants!

"Now where shall I put this lot?"

A right wing wriggle this time.  This is another reason we think that this bird is really Fluffy.  She was a one wing nesting wriggle specialist!

We often wonder what other people with nest box cameras see.  Do your birds consistently do one wing nesting wriggles?  Please let us know via the feedback form!
