Is that Fluffy or Barney?

Is that Fluffy or Barney?

Malcolm claims it's Barney - but I'm reserving judgement. He's calling one of the birds in Box1 - Neptune!!!! It's because its tail is sort of forked into 3 parts - unfortunately I can't think of anything better right now, and Neptune's partner doesn't have a name at all yet. Perhaps I'd better investigate Roman mythology - I suppose the Greek equivalent, Poseidon, is even worse.

Im sure The Great Tit Family will come back to our nestbox this year ;)

Hope so Euan - how many years has the box been used for?

Well last year it was the first time the box had been used which I was very chuffed about so it may be the 2nd year this year

My Dad had a box that was occupied by Bluetits year in year out for over 20 years, largest clutch being 17, 15 fledged and 2 eggs remained.
