21 December
1140. Watching.
1200. ⚫♀?DB-LP/0 #193 chasing off a fitmouse; now preening in central area.
1214. Wow! ⚫♂ Blue/LPink #296. Also ⚫♀m/Red #191 eating an acorn.
1223. Here also is ⚫♂ LG-DC/LG-Yellow #298. I had this problem before and figured I'd not seen him quite right, but this time I did: His upper right band is LGreen-Yellow not LG-DC.
1235. ⚫♂ wn-DB/ #256.
1250. There was an ub♀ here for several minutes who I guess is the one. However she may have been chased prior to landing in tree 2. There were enough birds around, though, so I would have expected her to be chased again while in the main storage tree (she apparently flew off on her own).
1256. ⚫♂ - /Orange #297.
1300. leaving.
