Blue tit nesting material (1 Viewer)

Hello all,

Each year I have noticed our blue tits bring in the slightest bit of red nesting material (see pic). I have also noticed this on other images of other people's blue tit nests.

Does anyone have any idea what it is? And more importantly does anyone have any idea why the blue tit feels the need to introduce such slight amount of red nesting material into the box?

Any and all answers would be great

Cheers,

Luke
