10:31 am Here are a few videos of visits on the 24th and 25th. Didn't have time to process them until today. Yesterday's video, the 26th, was badly pixelated, hopefully I might salvage a scap or two.

1st visit on the 24th - Sur brings in a stick at 11:18 am , places it, trys out the bowl and moves some fluff, gets up to move another stick and then literally stands in front of the tree trunk for 8 minutes giving the bark the odd nibble before leaving at 11:32 am (However it is fun to watch him wrangle the sticks into place!)

Sur brings in a stick (2:35)

Visit #2 - Sur returns at 11:36 bringing in another stick, puts it where he wants it in about 30 seconds and again S&L in he same spot until 11:45!

Sur brings in another stick! (:42)

Visit #3 Sometime between 4:00 pm and 4:23 pm the same day, both Sur and Res visited the nest. The DVR didn't record for about 23 minutes and both were there when it started recording again. They worked amicably on the nest for about five minutes. Then they just S&L until Res left at about 4:30 pm, and Sur continued to S&L until he left at 4:38 pm.

Late afternoon visit on Xmas Eve (4:53)

And I have to go out now so will do Xmas Day and boxing day hopefully later tonight. Editing and uploading seems to take me awhile to do.
