All Change in the Nestbox

The Great Tit seems to have lost interest in building a nest in the camera nestbox. After one day of hard work the next day showed no activity. That was followed by a short burst the next day followed by another day of no activity.  Today, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted new activity. A bird was removing some of the coarser nesting material. At first I assumed Mrs. Great Tit had decided to use it for another nest elsewhere. Then it dawned on me. It was a Blue Tit which was removing material.



That went on for a while and then she started bringing finer dried material to build her own nest.
Will she get away with it? Who will finally settle in to raise a brood?

  1. That's funny. Lucky it didn't damage itself trying to get through the hole with the stick sideways.

  2. Hope Mrs Blue Tit wins. Faffing about like the Great tit was it doesn't deserve the box.
