Lovely photos Paddy. I hope they choose the nesting box for their next home – it’s nice to be able provide shelter for creatures displaced by the loss of their natural habitat.
Thanks everyone. Barry, I didn't need any flash as it was beautiful morning sunlight from behind me, so lighting was perfect. And I was probably 2-3 metres away. He was keeping a bit of an eye on me, but they hang around our house (hand have nested in the roof) quite a bit so they're pretty used to us. Dennis, they used the boxes heaps last year so I expect they will again. We have quite a few different nest boxes and they all get used and it feels great to provide some habitat.
