A few days ago, we had an interesting visitor to Box3. While we like bumble bees, we hope it doesn't try to set up home in one of our bird boxes. That would present us with a real dilemma!
Another unusual picture. This time it's because normally when the male manages to entice a female to join him in the nest box, he departs so quickly all you get is a blur! This time Bertie stayed long enough for the system to take a clear picture.
Box3 has had some attention today.
A last look around ...
... before going inside.
Here he comes!
Inside the box.
From the side.
He hops up onto the small shelf beneath the sideways mounted camera ...
... and then back onto the entrance hole to have a look out.
From above.
He shortly returns to the floor of the box ...
... and then flies back onto the shelf.
Back to the hole again.
Then back to the shelf, before finally ...
... he leaves.
