Thursday 5th April 2012 (cont)

Whatever is outside the box this time, Becky clearly doesn't like it.

Shame!  He looks a handsome bird to me!

Another feed.  Becky may be a beginner when it come to nest building, but she seems to have attracted a loyal partner in Bob!

Just over an hour later, Bob come in with another feed for Becky ...

... and 3 hours later, he comes in with another!

This was taken on 1st April.  Bob has clearly got the art of feeding Becky sorted.  Here he is feeding her from the entrance hole.

So when will Becky start roosting in her nest box?  This shows her leaving at a quarter to eight when it was pretty dark, so I don't think she will be back tonight.

It's now 4th April and Bob is still looking after Becky pretty well.

This was the final picture taken today, 5th April.  So Becky has started to roost in the nest box at last!
