Today saw some very nice warm weather. Visits to both boxes 1 & 3 were high. The female, in box 1, has been bringing in more nesting material and I have lost count on the number of nesting wiggles she has been doing!
Box 3 is still being cleaned out, with a pair visiting often. We have finally managed to go through all the video from box 1 & 3 to see if we have one pair or two. The results are confusing though! We watched one visit to box 1, which involved nesting material being brought in. The bird then left box 1. 30 seconds later a visit was made to box 3. Looking at the birds they look the same but surley a female blue tit would not be using one box and cleaning the other?
We are confused! We plan to record again from both boxes, in the hope we will manage to capture one bird in box 1 and 3 at the same time.
More in our next diary update, on 22nd March.
