Bluetit waiting in the ' wings ' .

44 comments


Having found myself a likely nesting spot it pays to keep looking over your shoulder as competition for the nice boxes is pretty hot.Now whos that I see ..?


Sure I saw something here…


I knew it ..come out of there


Now wheres he gone ? Well I ve checked the right wing – perhaps I should check the left ?


How did you get in there ?


No good trying to move sideways … I ve got your every move covered.


I have to say he s a fine looking chap though .. reminds me of someone..


What do you mean he s behind me again ?


Cant understand this .. every time I move he does you behind here ?


Oh well … upon reflection theres only one thing for it .


Puff myself up to twice the size and scare him off … boo!

Brilliant Jane, very entertaining. How lovely that they are not phased. When my camera flashed this morning, thought I had frightened the robin forever, brilliant blog.

Given the rough time you have had lately David,if it puts a smile on your face,then its all worthwhile.Thinking of you x

Excellent. We have a lone grey wagtail at work who regularly works his way round the wing mirrors of all the parked cars. I'm sure he's looking for a mate!

22 Feb, 2009

 

Hi Popeymike..tried closing the mirrors in but he still squeezes in...what can you do ! Lol

22 Feb, 2009

 

Beautiful photos and a great blog. I see that there are other birds in the vicinity which have left a few messages for you on your windscreen.Never mind people say it's lucky.

23 Feb, 2009

 

Lol,Toto,not only on the windscreen but on the top and down the sides as well !Should be the luckiest person around by this account !!! Maybe would have been better getting a white van ! Lol
