Thursday 21 January 2016: nest box survey (part 2)

16-01-21-P1070847Six Friends turned out at 9.30 am to complete our nest box survey with Steve Joul.

Starting at the Slabbering Baby, we put a new nest box up there (to replace one in need of refurbishment and then made our way down to the Seven Arches, cleaning and refurbishing nest boxes on our way.

Again it was a lovely morning.

Again, nearly all of the tit boxes had been used – by tits.  We were not able to survey one box because a pair of blue tits were busily flying in and out!

We completed the job by about 12.15pm.  The survey results will be published when written
up.
