No lack of visits today!

Blue tits are now clearly looking for nest sites. As I write this at 12:30, the birdbox has already been visited several times today by what I think are different pairs and single birds. I have also seen the “wriggle” with spread out wings a number of times today.

Here is another video of one bird calling another bird into the box:

Later on there was a pair around the box with a male that was showing off, making himself look big by spreading his wings slightly and fanning his tail while outside the box. In the video you can see him flying in, calling (his girlfriend?) and then perching in the opening of the box, making himself look impressive again. I’m pretty sure this is the same bird that has visited the box many times before.
