About this time last year I blogged about the crested barbets trying unsucsessully to create a nesting hole in the pine tree accross the road. This year i decided to offer them one of those sisal nesting logs that they sell in nursary's. I had some advise that the nesting log hole should face south and other advise that it should face any direction except south? I decided to compromise and have it facing west! Unfortunatley, the only place I could put the nesting log is quite close to my back window so i did not have too much hope that the birds would make use of it.
So I was delighted to see this sight less than two hours after putting it up! Will keep an eye on him to see how the excavation goes :-)
