What another nice day it has been. A lovely clear blue sky all day. Again it was a great day for butterflies but the only one I tried to get a photo of was the comma on the underside of a Comma. Again the Goldfinches stayed high in the trees so no photos of them. I could hear Dunnocks but they kept well hidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our bird box, that was used last year, looks as though it is going to be used by Blue Tits this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks like a tight fit as it flies off presumably looking for nesting material or food for itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only on one occasion did it look as though it had some duvet stuffing in its beak to build a comfy nest for eggs. Here it has returned with nothing. Perhaps it is one of them returning to check on the progress the other is making. And when it is a bit fluffed up it looks as though it is bigger than the hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But its layers of feathers easily squash down as it slides into the nest box. At one time a Blue Tit flew into the nest and within a couple of seconds another flew in. Almost immediately one flew out. Was it a pair working on their nest or was it two birds eyeing up the nest box and one of them being sent packing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This photo shows the comma on a Comma butterfly much better than my photo yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
