April 01



06:42 Empty box in the morning and as I came back
07:31 Starling in the box, singing for female
07:35 Female comes in ... not sure what to think about behavior

07:42 Part 2


07:52 Part 3


Starlings stay together in the box for a long time, sometimes in peace and sometimes a little "fight". Think it's also a new female

It seems, now we have a starling couple in nestbox

Yesterday evening 20:30 empty box, but today in the morning

Around 20 minutes in peace in harmony, only sometimes they tease themselves

April 04

good morning!

Not sure what is going on in this nest box ...
06:59 Starling male comes, sings his song and female comes. Wondering a bit about behavior, but ...


Part 2


07:11/12 both out

I was wondering about this male and his behavior against female

07:13 Starlings back in box, a little fight

07:15 Male leaves, female a bit talking and also out

07:23 Male comes with nestmaterial, is a bit nervös and off


07:25 Male was singing outside, now back in box. Not sure what he is doing at the window ... sometimes it looks like defending, but singing
07:30 he left

07:30 Male back with nestmaterial, denfends window and singing. Female comes in, a little he and he leaves the box. Female is talking and also out



07:32 "Talking female" back ... think, it's a good name

07:34 Male back with nestmaterial, talking female comes ... don't think it's another male, a little fight and he leaves the box. The other one follows a bit later



07:37 Male back with nestmaterial, observing the window, defending. He takes a short rest
07:41 Male off
07:42 Male back, defending window, but talking female comes in

07:44 Talking female back, checking the box



07:46 Starling off

It was an in and out from female and male (with nistmaterial)

07:48 Singing male comes in, female (think this is the right one)follows, she observes the window ... suddenly a second female comes in. Male immediately leaves the box, females have a fight

07:51 Talking female immediately back and is always in and out many times

07:57 Male back with nistmaterial and dending window
08:03 Male with nestmaterial, poor guy seems to be tired, defends window



08:09 Female in and out
08:13 Male comes, defending window and leaving 08:14
08:17 Male back, defending window and off

Now I've lost track, who is in and out
09:09 Male last seen

Few pics from the fight
07:50 Male is on the right side

07:50


Male has left the box




Think, now I understand why the male sometimes is soft and sometimes so aggressiv ... 2 females and if not comes the right one, then

18.54 Two starlings.
