The Earlybirds - Pt 2.

After the recent post of the young Coal Tits, part 2 is about the Great Tits. These didn't use the nest boxes but did breed in the garden trees. Looks like two of the clutch have fledged and are doing well.

The Earlybirds - Pt 1.

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.
