The OB appears to be getting more used to the displays now ...
Nothing happened for the next few seconds - it was a sort of stalemate I suppose.

The OB appears to be getting more used to the displays now ...
13:26:57
... although the IB is still keeping up it's "Keep Out" messages!
13:26:58
Suddenly the OB gets fed up and leaves - this was the last shot if it before it departed.
13:26:58
The IB immediately turns towards more mundane matters ...
13:26:59
... like picking up another wood shaving - presumably as a prelude to removing it!
13:27:01
However, a couple of seconds later, the OB has returned for another sneaky look.
The IB hasn't noticed yet!
13:27:01
Now it has! You can imagine what's going on in its tiny head, "What's going on now - is that wretch back again?"
13:27:02
Again, it looks at though the OB has been startled off its perch and ends up flying up to the roof of the box.
13:27:02
The IB has clearly had enough. It flies up to the entrance hole making an enormous fuss!
13:27:03
Here you can see the IB still protesting vigorously as the OB watches from the safely of the roof.
13:27:03
You can see that the IB is still in full defence of territory mode.
They stay like this for some time!
13:27:10
Here the IB is looking up at the top of the nest box, presumably because of the noise the OB is making on the roof.
13:27:23
Finally, the OB flies off again and here you can see the IB looking straight out of the box.
"Good riddance!"
The IB left the box shortly after.
