Fledging has started already some gone last night

Getting closer to fledging time, although not started practicing wing flapping

The hunger games blue tit episode

Lots of feathers now appearing and able to get out of the bowl, looking hot though

Breakfast

Super busy feeding birdlets always hungry

Bluetit parents in and out with food and carrying out nappies all day long,must be so tiring

Breakfast time on a cold wet sometimes and windy day

Cold today and hungry birdlets

First blue tits have hatched, so now the real work for the parents begins with increasingly constant feeding required

Bluetit apparently likes sage, or maybe the insects in it

I'm sure there's something underneath this mattress....

Twelve eggs

Eleven eggs in the blue tit nest

Bluetit snuggling and tidying the eggs

Nine blue tit eggs

8 eggs

Seven eggs. Might be all there is this year. Bit colder now so bluetit making sure the eggs are warm

Six eggs

Minor nest building, adding insulation to the eggs and chatting to the mate who's usually outside keeping watch
