Nesting bluetits in our garden

paulus · 26-05-2012, 12:30 PM

Thought I would share some pictures of the bluetits we have nesting in our nesting box, after a few years of nesting this year I changed the box top to allow me to get some pictures without disturbing them

Will try to update again if I can before they fly the nest

They're beautiful. Did you have mum and dad in the trees squawking at you while you took the photos?
We have great tits nesting for the first time this year. We've always had blue tits before. My son would love CCTV in the nestbox but it's so expensive.
Thanks for sharing your photos.

I think mum and dad were happy to have a rest for a bit while their babies were posing

they are none stop flying and feeding at the mo

I'd love a CCTV box but too afraid they might stop nesting
