Sparrow came and showed a lot of interest in box three but didn't actually step inside so she came out to see what all of the noise was about.
Her presence provoked an immediate attack from the sparrow for some reason.
Then another sparrow turned up but didn't join in the fighting.
Fighting then went on for sometime every time scruffy tried to approach her nest box the sparrow either dive bombed her or was already waiting on one of the other perch holes.
Most of the time it was the sparrow that was the aggressor but she did come back for revenge while his head was inside the second box.
The sparrows cannot enter box one due to the narrowing plate but obviously she doesn't know that and she isn't taking that chance! At one point she was inside with the chick and the sparrow landed on the entrance hole and peered inside and she chased him but the noises out of them both at that point were pretty awful!
Not seen any interest from the sparrows previously. Never had footage of them inside any of the boxes and they didn't enter this time either but they were very interested.
Don't think the sparrows are looking for a nest because their nesting season is well under way if anything its ahead of the blue tit season. We are expecting to see some fledgling sparrows in the garden this week.
