Bluetit Diary    Apr 2016 (3)

 

 

Saturday 9th April, 2016

Perhaps I shouldn't give up on Box3 yet.  Here is a female bluetit doing a full blooded nesting wriggle!

A few minutes later she is in with some nesting material - the first of the year for this box.

She doesn't want to drop it!

Something must be in the air today - the scent of Spring perhaps?  Here is a female doing a nesting wriggle in Box1.

And here comes some nesting material for Box1 too!

She drops some of her load on the way into the box . . .

 . . . and then gently lays the rest on the floor of the box.

"Well, that's made a start!"
