Rare, together a long moment.  Curious attitude of one of the tits, cornered on the nest floor. It will exit  a few seconds latter. The other stays in the nest. The male or the female?

He sang early in the morning in the birch, but  no one seemed to care for the nest.

Each time, she stays no more than a minute in the nest. Then, as for now, these are still pictures triggered atutomatically by a motion detector.  Videos must be manually triggered and time is too short  to adjust settings.


07 February:

Overcast weather and a little snow (1°). This is not a good day for visits. No one entered the nest.

A small change in regime is welcome. Somme peanuts change from sunflower seeds, even if you must  work to reach your nut. The peanuts garland was hanged more than a month ago. No one seemed to take any interest until now. Today they catch up!
