A Nesting Blue Tits Work Is Never Done!

A couple of days late, but here as promised is an update of the nesting Blue Tits.

They are now flat out feeding the chicks inside. Oh how I wish I had a camera nest box now! I would love to see how things are going in there. I have no idea how successfully they are feeding them, or how many chicks there are inside. Their average brood is 8-10 chicks, it's quite a small nest box, so if there are that many in there, it must be quite a squeeze. It takes two to three weeks for them to fledge, and as I have absolutely no idea when they hatched I can only guess we are about a week and a half into that.

Where ever they are sourcing the green caterpillars from they are finding plenty of them. Long may that continue!
