Many of you will remember my camera nest box and Bluey, the bluetit rooster. He has been roosting every night without fail. He found a Mrs. Bluetit, and she paid many visits during the day time to clean out the box and remove all her husband's poo. That is dedication, methinks. She clearly hasn't heard of Girl Power. Then, about 2 weeks ago, she gave it up as a bad job, sensible girl. Bluey continues to roost every night, and the box is now really filthy. I still had some hope of Mrs. Bluetit returning to sort things out, but Alas and Alack, all hope has gone. Just look what she was doing this morning - plucking MY moss from MY basket and taking it away to another garden. She has a beak full of the stuff. The ungrateful little bird, after all I have done for her husband, providing him with bed and board all winter.
Cheers, Linda.

How wonderful Dangerous, and please keep us posted.
Bluey continues to roost in his ever increasingly mucky box. He hasn't missed a night as yet, but I expect he will be leaving soon. Mrs.Bluey was ransacking my window box yesterday for the dried lining stuff, and today she has been taking dead, dried, ivy leaves from the same window box. (The sort of ivy you find in hanging baskets). No sign of activity in the other boxes.
