Blom Anne Two
21 Feb 1235, I take a peek here and see light / dark-light, which
I presume is ♂846. Very few acorns are stored here,
and I'd be surprised if they last through the winter
9 May Swinging past 0830 I find ♀/VB drumming from the
granary, but then chased mildly by, ♂847 M/Ram-Blt,
another bird (I presume ♂846) was nearby. Nobody,
in any holes here.
16 June Swinging by 1730, I find a bird looking out of the
low hole in the W branch of the granary. Does
Blom 2 finally have a nest?
17 June Nobody looking out here at 1400.
20 June " " " " 1100.
26 June Watching here, PM, I see ♂847 M/Red-Black,
but no ♂.
Blom 2 Abandoned fall 83
