Bluetit Diary    Jan 2006 (4)

 

 

Tuesday 17th January, 2006

Both boxes have been visited more than once today.

First a great tit appeared to be taking an interest in Box1.  This was the box that a great tit pair, who we named Ferdinand and Babe, took over last year and raised a brood of  5 chicks.  You can read all about the take over in last years diary - pick up the story from 9th April, 2005

Yes - he is interested, isn't he?

However, this time he doesn't go in and shortly after this picture he flew away.

Another interested bird - this time a bluetit.  Judging from the next picture, a female, wondering how her partner is getting on inside.

This picture was taken at the same time and shows what is probably the male having a good look round.

And there he goes a few seconds later.
