Bluetit Diary    Feb 2012 (1)

 

 

Friday 19th February 2012

It's now over half way through February, and I still haven't started keeping this diary properly!

The bluetits haven't been slacking though.  This bird brought some bedding into Box1 for the first time yesterday.  She's only playing at it so far though.  She will probably be taking it out again next!

On a different subject, we've had more siskins than usual this year.  And even better, there have been some redpolls with them too.  The last time we had redpolls was in 2004.

I couldn't resist including this recent picture showing that our pair of bullfinches is back.  Let's hope they nest nearby and bring their offspring to feed before they disappear.  One year we had a visit from 4 chicks as well as both parents!
