Hmm, BT visits have suddenly gone right down today and yesterday - hardly anything at all, just an odd head peeping in once or twice in the day.
Is it the chilly windy weather we've been having
Or is it tying in with Matt's theory of visits ramping up in Feb then down again in March?
There's been one instance of a GT barrelling right into the nest box knocking a BT off the hole entrance hole as it was tentatively hanging there just about to peep its head in.
Almost seems as if the GT(s) has/have won the battle already.
Meanwhile, the trail cam has captured more robin stuff.
She seems to be settling into the nest, and I'm almost certain she roosted the whole night last night.
In fact the footage from last night around 9.30pm shows that she was in the nest already right in front of me in the dark as I fiddled with the camera and swapped the SD card etc!
Didn't budge, didn't seem bothered, just sat there watching, before sleeping all snuggled down, and staying on in there until at least 9am the next morning, and returning at around 6pm this evening...again as I fiddled with the camera she was there in the dark once more, peeping out at me (only proved later on the video).
Bless!
