Night night.

Over winter Clickychick and I treated ourselves to a nest box with a wifi camera in.  I had great hopes for the breeding season and we did see a Great Tit going in and out a number of times but nothing came of it.

A week or so ago I saw a Blue Tit going in so I thought "Ah"  prospecting possible nest sites for next year.  Checking the camera recently I found the bird was in and out a lot.  It is known that some birds particularly hole nesting birds will roost in winter in nest boxes.  I didn't expect them to start this early, not that I blame it it has been a horrible cold day and very wet.

The camera shows it entered the box just before 5:30.  It pottered about and preened for a while and by 5:35 it was tucked up, fathers fluffed to keep in more warmth and in the land of nod.  This shot is of my phone, I haven't yet worked out how to get photos off on to the laptop.  The shot is slightly distorted as the phone is longer than the shot.
