Happy New Year & Busy


Firstly Happy New Year to all our visitors

Today saw lots of activity to boxes 1 & 3, during the morning.

Box 1

Around ten visits were made to box 1 from around 09:00 - 11:00. Two of these visits included a pair visting and cleaning the box. With so many visits are we going to see this pair use box 1 to nest in? It is too early yet to say.

Box 3

Box 3 saw two visits at around 09:20. No entries were made inside but a Blue Tit inspected the entrance hole, and even cleaned it's feathers

Looking at the photos & video I think it may be the same male (Adam) who used box 3 last year (2009)

So with a possible pair in box 1 and visits to box 3, will we have one nest or two this year? Time will tell and we will keep you all updated.

Our next diary update will be on Sunday 3rd January
