BLUE TITS (23)

Yesterday, before 9am, the female was to-ing and fro-ing the nest every 3 minutes or so, bringing in very small feathers and seed-heads.
I also saw her in the neighbours' tree, begging food from the male. She'd perch close to him and shiver, calling softly. He obliged by hopping over and giving her a mouthful of whatever he'd found. Does this strengthen the bond, does she need fattening up now? I'm not sure.

Its also fair to say that both Tits (although its mainly the male, as the female tends to fly straight into the box, without perching first), have made the end of their chopstick perch quite dirty, with their little Tit feet.

Note to self. Provide them with a door mat next year...
