Blue t*t

Post by whitey79 »

Just sitting here and watching a pair of blue t*ts checking out a nesting box already

Makes me feel like spring is on its way

If it was used last year, there will be a lot of mites and other bugs living in the old nesting material, they revisit over winter as its a food source, besides checking for potential nesting sites.

That could explain the sparrows' continued interest in my nest box since the autumn. :thumbs:

A pair of Mallards on the lake I was fishing were a bit on the frisky side. Lucky duck.
