The weather has begun to change slowly and activity to Box 3 has increased. The female has been visiting the box more oftern and has been slowly removing tiny bits of moss from the box.

So far we had not seen both the male and female inside box 3. Whilst taking part in a conservation action day in our local nature reserve, we left the cameras recording.

After going through over six hours of video we saw and recorded this:

	The male enters the box		The female enters the box
	The male is below whilst the female clings on to the wall		Pair in box 3

The male had entered the box trying to tempt the female in. After a minute the female finally came into the box, whilst the male was crouched on the floor. During all the action the pair made constant calling noises to each other, so we are guessing this is a pair. When the female entered the box she took a few minutes to come down to the box floor. Once the female landed the male departed.

So finally we have seen a pair in box 3. Upon looking at the pictures we think this is a different pair to the ones who keep visiting box 1. Are we to have two nests this year? It would be nice.

Visits to Box 1 have continued and it is still being used to roost in each night. When we checked the box on Saturday night we saw a lot of feathers in box 1. Had there been a fight in the box. Sadly we can not tell, as we did not have the cameras on :(

Hopefully the weather will now warm up and we will see the activity increase even more. So far we have not seen any nesting material in either boxes. Will we?

More in our next diary update, on 12th March.
