Birding on the west coast of Sweden

Thursday, May 15, 2008 - Nest box

Posted in Local watching
I put up a nest box about two hours ago at convenient viewing distance from my balcony. Not twenty minutes later, a Pied Flycatcher arrived to inspect the estate

Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca)

Since Pied Flycatchers like nest boxes to the point that they sometimes evict other birds from them, it's not very surprising, but I expected a day's time or so to pass before any birds at all showed interest. Now I'll just have to wait and see if he liked what he saw.

I put a shoutbox in the menu to the right, just above the counter. Feel free to use it! I like feedback and the post comment thingy is rather cumbersome in my opinion.
