| Re: Blue Tits nesting diary 2006
Thought the camera was US when we plugged it in earlier this week, but I'm pleased to report that it is OK. Unaware of much activity, we've just switched it on to see a beautifully constructed half nest, mainly consisting of springy moss (probably that which I raked out of the lawn on Monday).
We had just noticed a bird pecking away at the hole for some time, and it then disappeared inside the box. A few seconds later it was followed by another bluetit, but I think one must have been an intruder for the speed with which it exited this little home. Now there is much frenzied activity as more and more moss is being brought inside - something in nature must have stimulated this work so it can't be long before the nest is finished and eggs are laid. |
