Bluetit Diary    Mar 2009 (3)

 

 

Wednesday 4th March (part2)

Both Box1 and Box3 have also been visited today.

A bluetit on the entrance to Box3.

It doesn't spend an age hesitating, in it goes!

Inside Box3.

Looking up at the entrance hole.

It hops up onto the narrow shelf just beneath the camera to the side.  It seems to be investigating the top of the nesting area.  I hope I have sealed it properly so that it cannot get over into the camera area.

Looking at the outside view.

From the outside.

Away!

It's not just a bluetit that is interested in Box3.  The hole is big enough to let in a great tit and here is one having a look.

Woops!  Did this great tit lose its grip?

Back for a closer look a couple of minutes later.

I wonder what it made of it!

Finally, to prove that our birds haven't forgotten Box1, here is a bluetit doing a full blown nesting wriggle inside it!
