First Recorded Nestbox Visitor

This weekend I was cleaning the nestbox containing the camera which I built last year, but which did not get used by any birds. The camera compartment built into the lid of the nestbox had become home to a nesting colony of spiders, whose nest webs were blocking the light from the LEDs. After cleaning it up enough to get the camera working, I was trying to determine why I could only get a black and white picture when this Great Tit appeared on the camera! After picking off all the spiders crawling around in the main nestbox compartment, it fluffed itself up and tucked it's head under it's wing and settled down for the night. Hopefully this is a sign that the box will be used for nesting this Spring.
