The falun
gong of the tit.
He is in the birch next
to the nest box.
I see him making very slow movements, as in slow motion.
That is a strange attitude.

It
opens
very very slowly the wings, really slowly and raises them at the
highest
possible. Then down gently. And again.
You have seen my width say? You hear me?
For whom this slow agitation?
Photo à 16h30
For
him!
Not impressed at all by the exhibition.
During all the time that the sparrow rested on nest box our land owner
continued
his doings.

In the nest box ... she is there, inside, while his knight defends her.
Calm
returns, the sparrow has left the nest box.
Our gymnast relaxes.
And goes to
look immediately in the nest box.
You are going well, not too afraid of?
I checked it's safer.
Phew, rest.
A little ditty to unwind, perhaps?
Later, a passage a deux. He plays the ghosts.
23-24 February
Two grey and foggy days, but mild: 16-17 °C Sunday.
News this Saturday.
Two small, very small branch bits. I saw her bring one who broke at the
entrance
to the nest box.
A beginning?
That she
will pack all day.
Sunday,
she
withdraws the two pieces. The birdhouse is again empty.
The
days lengthen 18h23 and she is still in the nest box. Since 8am in the
morning she has not ceased to go in and out of the nest box.
27 February
It is fine weather
today. Since 9am she spends a lot of time in the nest box.
The first strands of moss.
Installed
in the nest box she opens and closes its wings creating this beautiful
shape.
She will spend most of the day in the nest box.
Late in the
day, I come to stop transmission and discover...
...that
she
is there and it has decided to lie down in the nest box. I think it is
the
female because she has spent the day in the nest box with him singing
next to
the nest box.
I
leave connected the acquisition of photos.
Good
night!
At 7am it
stirs a leg. The belle is not early-rising and wakes up slowly.
She
eventually leaves at 7h27 to join him.
There
is a
big difference compared to other years for the beginning of the nest.
Since 3 days I have switched-off the lighting, wanting to see if the
behaviour
of the tit changes and therefore all photos, even during the day, are
currently
in IR.
To change, there are some! I think without relation to the lighting.
This is
the first time that a chickadee just sleep in the nest box before the
nest is
not finished and the laying period.
We will see tonight if she liked it.
28 February
Greyness
and small rains today.
After a
night in the nest box, the two tits leave for the morning. Back at
noon. Then, no
one until 17h.
And at 18:30, she returned sleep in the nest box. A few strands of moss
are
scattered but still she don't seems to be in a hurry to fill the scene.
Note by
the way, the cleanness of the housing.
The
prunus
begins to bloom.
To
appreciate its flowering nothing beats a visit at night.

29 February
Madam gets up at 7h33.
Good snooze, isn't?
The
sky is
clear, 14 °C.
At the top
of poplar, at the tip of branches, red ochre catkins offer their fresh
pollen.
A greenfinch visits the poplar.
