Form day to day.
September 2007 -2-
20 September
Autumn colours
for the vine.
The latest young sparrows sunbath on the edge of the terrace. It stayed with us a long time, watching, sleeping and grooming its feathers.
Everyone appraises
the observation post. Great tit's turn. The other great tit that accompanies it,
is not far away. A beautiful male and female.
A couple of
small blue tits come by the balcony and one of them puts its head several times
for a few seconds inside the nestbox.
The greenfinches
seem to have deserted our corner for two weeks. The youngsters that we saw in
summer must be independent since long time. The greenfinch is rather a solitary,
but in the winter it lives in groups. We will see this winter if we see him
again.
At last we
see to the nestbox. We should have done it since long, but for various reasons
we postponed several times.
The plants including clematis having well grown make the access a bit tough.
This is the
nestbox bottom. The nearside, where we see the nest bowl, is at the back of the
nestbox.
Like last year, 6-
The birdhouse was disassembled, brushed and disinfected.
We fully remade the installation of the cameras. In particular, to avoid
annoying reflections.
Nest
without and with its cache plate for the cameras. The IR lighting LEDs are now
separated from the camera and behind the cache.
When we
removed the small wooden plaque that protects cables, we saw that it had been nibbled
by the tits which removed small bits.
The
birdhouse in place, a bit hidden at the moment! It might be even more pleasant
for birds as it is. Fortunately for the photographer, in spring it becomes
visible.

At the risk
being boring, I can not resist to these two small great tits to finish the
month.
Each on its side.
