Couple of updates on the bluetits, mum and dad still flying all hours to keep them fed

Aww, they've grown since your last photos.
Our great tits are being great parents too. I love watching them flying in and out of the nestbox. Such devoted parents.

poor parents arnt looking their best at the mo, hope they treat them selves to birdy make over when it's all done

I do wonder how much they eat themselves when they seem to come back so quickly with food for their babies. They really put the chicks first and they must be completely exhausted!

My baby blue tits have fledged without with me seeing, it must have been yesterday while I was at work, I'm off from today for a week but oh no they didn't hold on for one more day so I could see them, I'm so disappointed x

That's a shame

maybe you will see them growing up around your garden

They do usually come back, not seen them yet tho, yours must be ready to fledge, great shots, I must get a CCTV camera next year so I can see what your seeing, they are so lovely and so many of them x

Must be ready to fly the nest soon they look so squashed up, I counted at least 9 so looks like most of the 10 eggs have made it but may well be a 10th hiding!
