Well I settled in early this evening to watch how things went at roosting time, worried about a scrap.
But it was the same sequence of events as any other time recently: the BTs were proudly flitting about the box thinking they owned it, while under the radar the GT arrived and lurked about low down in a nearby shrub, waiting for it's moment.
Then while just one BT was left nearby, the GT suddenly made a quick beeline straight into the box, with the BT caught out completely.
Cue the now familiar sight of the BT hopping about frustratedly outside the box wondering how come this GT had managed to pull it off once again.
I couldn't see whether it was the male or the female BT - but it didn't take any risks, and eventually flew off.
This BT pair are going to have to seriously up their defensive game!
Here's the female BT earlier on, happily busying herself with moss and shuffles, as if Great tits aren't a thing
