On one of her short flights out of the nest box each day Mrs Great Tit returns with more nesting material. With luck she will now be just past half way in incubating her eggs. Mr GT is becoming more frequent in fetching food so it is looking promising for them to bring up a healthy brood eventually.
Glad to see all is going to plan.
ReplyDeleteFascinating insight into their behaviour John.
ReplyDeleteLovely to watch, John. Thanks for taking the time to go through all the footage and find sections that show the nesting procedure so well :)
ReplyDeleteSeems to be Adrian.
ReplyDeleteBeats most of the offerings on the idiot lantern these days Keith.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't take too much time Glo. When I'm at the computer the nest pictures are on a small monitor next to me so I can spot any interesting bits of action and I zip through any recordings at about 10x speed.
ReplyDeleteLove the parts when she looks up to see if food is on the way.
ReplyDeleteIt really does look promising John :) I do hope it all works out well.
ReplyDeleteI know it sounds silly but I couldn't have a nest box camera because I would get too involved and be devastated if things went wrong. I have everything crossed that yours will have a happy outcome :)
John, I'm pretty sure that is white dog hair lining the nest! What do you think?
