As I was up quite early today, I was working on the computer a bit when suddenly I heard some noise outside. I looked up and through the window, and sure enough, there was a Blue Tit (pimpelmees) hopping against my window, trying to get in. It didn't just smack into it, as if it didn't know there was a glass wall, but rather carefully flew up to it and then gently tried to push through it, just to see what was on the other side.
Nosey little birdies if you ask me. When I checked the nest box last night, it had much more nesting material in it, and seeing two (it's probably a couple) Blue Tits flying up and down my terrace today makes it clear they're nesting indeed. I tried snapping some pictures, but they didn't want to cooperate and sit still long enough to get a good focus and zoom, so I'll have to redirect you to this page about Blue Tits for a good image and sound : Pimpelmees (Parus Caeruleus)

Yeah. Well, I guess it's better than nothing, right? I'd rather have boobies on my matress, but I'll settle for the flying kind for now.

Tits are very nosey en very clever also. I love those bird, can't stop watching them in our garden. The minute I change something on our terrace they fly in to check it out.
