Bluetit Diary    Mar 2008 (6)

 

 

Monday 17th March, 2008

We're pleased to see that a bluetit seems to be getting increasingly interested in Box3.  It would be nice to have some chicks fledge from this box this year.

A bluetit comes to Box3's entrance ...

... and quite quickly decides to enter.

Inside the box once more.

He has a good look round ...

... from one angle ...

... and from another.

"Can I get up there?"

He soon decides he can't and goes to the entrance to have a look outside.

A few seconds later he is back inside again.

Then back on the hole again.

He leaves a short while later.

This was a more satisfactory visit than we have had before and gives us some optimism about the prospects of a nest being built here again this year.
