Nesting

Already it's been several days since my last post, and announced the coming of spring. Please check the page, and here the silence - nothing happens. It's not like - although last time entries were missing, it is my forest around most revived with the arrival of starlings. Continuing rather cold winters and an attempt to relapse did not stop przedwiosennego development of wildlife.

All nest on the edge of the forest on my property and started addressing their birds nesting boxes, often sinking to fight for their acquisition. Even tits, which is for me a few types, shrilly acquire their breeding territory. The greatest activity has Blue Tit - is the one which in nature is considered the most fertile. Tends to breed over two years, and its progeny is one of the most numerous - sometimes that can brood as many as 19 eggs. Last year, my original booth occupied breeding sites at the entrance to the hut.

Wydłubałem it with the natural log truncated, rotten, old pine and has płatwowej posadowiłem the beam - just under the tin roof vestibule. In summer leaves entwine choke her, creating additional shelter from the sun to shed przysiadających before birds. Visible in the photo on the right stick on the roof hut and hole is called simply the perch, and serves them as we przesiadywania porch to front of the house.

So the nest in my neighborhood the other tits: Great Tit, Sosnówka, Crested Tit and poor. Nearly all occurred at my winter karmniku. Only tits czubatki this winter are not met. I hope that in the summer also appears.
