After 3 years at last a couple of my nest boxes have been occupied, one of the boxes by the lovely Coal Tits. Last weekend the frantic feeding left the nest box and moved to the ivy covered scrub around the nest box tree where two fledglings were peeking out. This fella looks a little young to be out of the box..... but he is doing Ok.....
now I am down here, where's my food?
Think I will have to shout
Louder....
Ok ..... I'm here
Satisfied
A week later and although still being fed by the parents, they are sometimes feeding themselves.

These are nice little birds - we used to have a few coal tit nests in boxes on the edges of pine blocks on the reserves I worked on i Gateshead - I think it must be four years since I have seen one!
