Nest Box Observation 2024 ep.03 April 3rd ~ 6th
It's been challenging to find occupants for the nest boxes this year...
A notable difference from previous years is the vigilant calls of Varied Tits echoing from various places... It seems the Japanese Tit might be feeling the pressure from the Varied Tits, as for some reason, she forcibly entered the Coal Tit's nest box with a 24mm hole...
Since a 24mm hole nest box poses a danger to the Japanese Tit, I've decided to widen the hole of nest box number 2 slightly, hoping the Varied Tit, which seems to have the upper hand, will choose it first. (The Varied Tit still seems to have difficulty going in and out of the nest box)
Then, I'm planning to change the remaining nest boxes, numbers 1 and 3, to 27mm holes. I believe 27mm is just about the right size for the Japanese Tit to pass through easily.
It might be futile, but... I hope everyone settles in peacefully, so I'll give it a try...
*Next broadcast will be conducted when something noteworthy happens.
