Will they / Won’t they ???? (1 Viewer)

Hi all

These two blue tits keep coming back and checking out the bird box…they have been for over a month, every day…still no commitment yet…do you think they are still looking for a nesting site or just bugs to eat ?

They often start pecking around the hole if they are very interested. Not necessarily enlarging it it just seems like instinct. Saying that I've had a Great Tit/s pecking and actually enlarging the hole in my nestbox and they have lost interest!

I have another camera setup inside a another box and it’s fascinating watching them go from one box to the other…and back again.
It’s as if they are discussing the difference between the two…
