Tempting Fate

Let's tempt fate a little by naming the Great Tits:

Meet Charlie

And Lola

It was a toss up between Charlie & Lola from the kids' books/TV show of the same name, and Charlie & Rebecca from the BBC1 series, Hotel Babylon!

Lola measures for carpets

A minute later and Charlie arrives...

...but Lola asks him to leave...
...more measuring!
Lola tests the flying trapeze before leaving the nest box
An hour-and-a-half later and they both return. Lola stays for around ten minutes before leaving
Two-and-a-half hours later and they are back

Lola hears Charlie calling from the garden
But the lights are more interesting!

Lola takes time to preen

She is constantly irritated by Charlie's presence

The last visit and image of the day is of Lola - she appears to have brought some dry grass into the nest box. I did think that I'd be returning to the computer in the evening to find a bit more nesting material, but this was all she brought in! I wonder if she'll get cracking on the nest this weekend?
