Fighting bluetits

[Elizabeth B]

Box 1 was "claimed" by a pair of bluetits some while ago, though nest building is very slow at the moment - but on Monday there was a dispute over ownership.

The full story appears on our website - but here are two of the (rather blurred) pics.

hi Elizabeth

saw these on your site, lets hope the ownership is now settled!

My 2 youngest and I watch your boxes most days

It does seem nesting is slow, we have a camera box but so far liitle interest; Thank goodness for your site!

Our non camera box has been claimed by great tits again this year, who visit from time to time.

There's still time Jane - don't give up hope yet. It's cold and miserable again here, but when (if ever) it warms up things should get going, so I hope we'll have something more interesting for you to watch before too long. Thank you for telling me of your interest.
