A few nestbox items
I went to clear out my Hindburndale clough boxes by Park House Farm and there was a reception committee and subsequent entourage of 14 bullocks. Most of the box checking involved leaning over a barbed wire fence. I cleaned out the inside and then the bullocks followed suit by copiously licking the outside of each box, once their attention had been drawn. This would obviously have ben more serious if they had been able to rub against them as well
The nestbox which earlier in the season had a half-completed tit nest topped by a dead ringed 2CY female Pied Flycatcher (ringed Outhwaite) had a happier ending. All the above was cleared out and a latish brood of 6 Pied Flys have now fledged
Finally, visit u-tube and type: Tree Sparrow attacks baby Blue Tits in the search.
apparently this happened at/near Wennington
