Blue tit
On this morning's walk I noticed a lot of blue tits checking out potential nesting sites. In a good number of cases there were pairs of birds making frequent visits to a site. They were clearly setting about home refurbishments as they disappeared into a hole in a tree and re-emerged a little later to fly off a dispose of the rubbish they’d found. The blue tit equivalent of stripping the old wallpaper and lifting old carpets. They were all making a point of flying away with the rubbish not just tipping it out the door. Presumably this is both good hygiene and security in not signalling where their nest is.
