Now that Kelly has finished her nest in box 2, there is not so much to report. Today, though, we have some lovely images of her leaving the nest box, so I thought you might like to see some of them.
Kelly
is still bringing the odd bit of nesting material to the box. However,
she often takes some out of the box too, so things don't seem to change
much!
|
She no
longer seems quite as frenetic. Here she has put down whatever it was
she brought in and is looking out of the hole.
|
I
don't suppose that bluetits appreciate how beautiful they can look in
flight!
|
This
time as you can see, she is removing something or other.
|
Boris
keeps in touch with her regularly. He often comes to the box and
perches briefly on the entrance hole. I think he must be checking to
see if she is there. If she isn't he often leans back and look around
for her.
|
If he
does not catch sight of her from there, he flies up to the top of the box
for a better look.
This is a complex looking aerial manoeuvre, but not very elegant! |
Here
he spends some time calling and looking around.
Kelly appears to have a good partner here! |
Here
is Boris again, looking after Kelly as usual.
|
Finally,
at the end of the day, here is Kelly settling down for the night.
