Nothing to report yet of course, but maybe if we have a thread ready for them, they will return. Will be interesting to see if Fiona liked the Radisson (and Pip!) enough to return.
This month we are going to be checking out the nestbox and replacing the gravel if we can (might be too frozen) or if not, knowing if we have too! Even though they didn't nest in the box last year, Fiona liked to stash her snacks there. Funny thing is that Pip would almost always follow her in - few minutes or within 24 hours - to retrieve said "snack". Very cute actually, she would place it very nicely in the corner and he'd just as nicely find and remove it. Chances are he brought it to her in the first place and I suspect he got to use it as a "gift" a second time. It was mostly post-chicks when pairs do some pair bonding that includes food transfers and bowing/dancing at the nestsites.
