I like it, a cute little pair of tits & a snug little box. Sweet
Well...I have some more footage going up in the next 10 minutes, and the little birds are now sitting on 9 eggs
They seem to share the sitting, and also leave the box unattended while they forage together sometimes.
And they've taken to covering the eggs with feathers while they're out
It's all very exciting and quite quite cute

Also, I seem to remember watching the bird watching series Bill Oddie did about this time a couple of years ago, and they had problems with woodpeckers. Does the box have a metal sheet around the hole to stop 'peckers enlarging it at all?
Just found this news item on the BBC. Would this happen to be the same type of box?
They've hatched.
My Dad sent me this clip this morning, from Sundays activity. Shells are cleared away and feeding is in progress
