| The weather has been rather horrid around
here, and apart from constantly feeding, little has happened with
the local birds. Until now, things are starting to happen all over |
|
| This dunnock, perhaps the one that
unsuccessfully nested in a miniature conifer earlier this year, has
started to bring leaves into the replacement robin box |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| This is the picture just a few hours later |
|
| Another shot of the bird with a new leaf |

 |
|
| The Robin on the other hand, has taken to
the honeysuckle box, not much work going on, but it seems keen to
keep it clean from the dropping's left by a great tit that roosted
here a few nights ago |
|
|
Over in Bird box 1, we have a roosting great tit
most nights. This bird seems to be a male, but also seems keen to
keep the box clean, a trait normally associated with females |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| This Great tit male, may be trying to
entice a female to use the box |
|
| This bird on the outside of box 1 does
appear to be female |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| In bird box 2 however, we have a different
situation. The box was used by a bird we named broken feather,
because of a feather that always stuck out of its left wing. Well as
you can see, this bird looks exactly the same, despite having
moulted since then |
|
| This Blue tit also brings in bits of
material, not to make a nest but to stake a claim we think |
|
|
 |
 |
|
| We are pretty sure its Broken feather, and
it would be great if she manages to raise another brood in the same
box |
|
| Broken feather also roosts in this box at
night. Don't forget you can watch this and all the other animals and
