The Missus Has Arrived

A couple of days ago I posted a picture of a male pied flycatcher, the first of the summer visitors to arrive in our garden http://365project.org/susiemc/birds-and-other/2017-04-17
Today I noticed a female and watched for ages as the two of them went in and out of the nest box carrying nesting material
Isn't she a pretty little thing?

So wonderful to watch them in your garden.
Not a sign of 'our' flycatcher yet...

Sounds like they are getting ready for housekeeping and babies

@gardencat She's not quite as striking as the male but yes, she's very pretty.

@koalagardens Thank you for the comment and fav KG

@gijsje They've both been very busy going in and out of the nesting box. Thank you for commenting Bep.

@gilbertwood It's great that the female has arrived. Last year we had a male but no female which was very sad.

@aglennc I can watch them from our bedroom window and I definitely think you're right Anita.

@happysnaps Thank you Valerie. Yes, we feel very priviledged

@onewing It's a relief because last year the female never came.

@cruiser I've been keeping an eye on them and they do seem to like this box.There were plenty to choose from in the garden but I'm so pleased they chose this one because I can watch them from the bedroom window.
