Damp, cold weather today - not much action. Four or five double BT visits but all very brief.
Found evidence of another GT/BT box stand-off from back on the 26th Feb, again at roosting time, where again the BT doesn't seem to scarper immediately:
Plus... hard to tell really, but I'm starting to wonder if the roosting GT is in fact two birds.
I've read somewhere that GT pairs sometimes take turns roosting in a box, and purely based on these two stand-off pics from last Sat (26th Feb) and last night (1st Mar), the black breast stripe looks slightly different in each.
I guess it could just be feathers ruffling differently, but one stripe looks thinner than the other:
