Princess is definitely not in town and we haven't seen hide nor hair of Smiley either.
Hart and Joli are the pair making themselves at home at the Radisson over the last few days. Joli seems to have driven out another bird that we are 99% sure is Spencer out of the territory on the weekend. Didn't seem to be much of a fuss over that, the bird we are pretty sure was Spencer was at the Radisson and then an hour later, it was Joli. Better part of valour on we-believe-Spencer's part given that Hart is around to back Joli up, not that Joli needs much backing up. Joli proved that just before lunch when into town flew Faith and she made a beeline for the Radisson nestbox and she and Joli had a no-holds-barred knock-down, drag-out fight - actually 3 fights in the nestbox and who knows what kind of aerial combat. Both seemed to be without obvious injury after their last round in the nestbox - no blood that I could see on feet, feathers or faces so hopefully it was more sound and fury than injurious. Both birds have flown off - Joli has been back a couple of times so who knows. Faith and Joli are very equally-matched, can't say it will be the last fight over the nestbox between these two.
This is the kind of spring excitement I could do without ....
