Males build several nests then the female chooses which one she wants. I am happy she chose my house.
I have seen activity around my bird house but not conclusive residents until this morning when there were there definite directed to’s and fro’s. My first attempt at shooting my wonderful new neighbours were swiftly designated to the disposal bin. I tried shooting through a screen, and while that worked fine for the flicker it was abysmal for these wee ones so I set up my tripod, opened the door and when my new neighbour arrived I let the shutter fly.
Thank you David Church for suggesting the subject name for this note today. I think it very clever.
