The nesting blue tits in the garden are as busy as ever, I imagine it will only be a few days before the chicks fledge. I've been stationing myself next to the box to catch the adults just before they bring their grub to the chicks, I'm fairly happy with some of the photos that have come out! The last photo shows one of the adults coming out of the box with a fecal sac, a mucous membrane that covers the faeces of the nestlings so the parents can remove it from the nest.
