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.

Cute little guy - I've only ever seen grown up coal tits!
Absolutely incredible images. Love IVY...love birds...makes for a great combination and wonderful compositions.
so tiny and vulnerable. glad they're getting some independence!
Very cute little bird.
A wonderfully captured photo essay!
Lovely set of pics Dave, not easy to get when they are so small and active.
All the best, Gordon.
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!
Cheers - and thanks for linking to WBW - Stewart M - Melbourne
how lovely! I have never seen young of this species before. Thanks for sharing.
You did well there Dave. In all my years of nest boxes I've never managed to attract Coal Tit in.
How Sweet, just Lovely!
Wonderful photos of the adorable tit.
Beautiful series.
