APRIL 2009 - Blue Tits nesting?


A pair of Blue Tits repeatedly visited the garden yesterday tea time. One would gather some material that my wife had put out for them while the other watched. I guess that the Blue Tit acually gathering the material was female and the other was the male escorting her. As shown here, a still image (above), and a short video (below) I shot with my camera.



A Robin was also collecting nesting material, but more in the shape of small leaves and twigs.


The Blackbird family of 'Set-B' are still in the garden. The parents are still visiting the back door for some mealworms. At least one fledgling was seen being fed by the male but we think there are two as he keeps taking food to different areas in the conifers. Meanwhile, the female seems to eat the mealworms herself rather than feeding the offspring! This is down to the male!
