Today the weather finally turned milder and we saw a high of 10°C!

The warmer weather seemed to have an affect on our Blue Tits and an impressive 18 visits were made to box 1. During one of the visits a Blue Tit entered box 2. Shortly afterwards another one arrived at the entrance hole, and the bird inside was not happy. It was on guard and every time the other bird tried to enter it displayed a warning. Is this the same pair from box 1 or possibly an intruder?

Box 3 has been quiet over the last few days, however a pair were seen in the tree just outisde the box. It looks like also a bird or something has been in the box, when the cameras were not on.

With all the activity in box 1, would we see a rooster tonight. Sadly not and all three boxes were empty tonight.

Our next diary update will be on Monday 18th January
