Description
Yesterday I did my rounds of the nestboxes in the garden, so I could update the records online for our National Nestbox 'Challenge' which the BTO run.
I did it late afternoon when most parents are out having a bite to eat themselves. I open the box and take a quick pic: I can't see in myself without getting the steps.
I was thrilled to find this set of youngsters in one box..they are Blue Tits.
There is a brood of Great Tits in another box, and I got a pic of a very peeved Blue Tit mum on eggs in the 3rd!
The Robin box has been predated, but the back garden pair were successful as I showed in the pics I posted last month.
Katraz has a brood of Robins in his greenhouse living in luxury!

Maybe this is where the old slang term, "naked as a jaybird" comes from? Those new hatchlings must have just popped out of their shells very recently. Wonder what the momma does with the shells... A-1 capture. We just never get to see baby birds at this stage.

Excellent capture and a sterling job you are doing Andrea, I made one nest box for in the garden and had a couple of great tits looking at it but they must have found something better. They come to feed in my garden but they have a nest somewhere else. Maybe it was too new for them, never mind they may return next year. Superb image. Bravo!!!!!
