Lurking behind this Hydranger on the back of the fence behind the Arbor is this secret nest, inside there are a family of baby Blue Tits, To say Im pleased is putting it mildly I am thrilled as I had given up on my nest boxes this year. Im sorry I can't get a picture but dont want to disturb, but can't drag myself away, just hope I dont miss the fledging as Im out tomorrow!

Thanks Val and Sandra, I have four boxes up, lots of coming and going in the earlier part of the season but only one pair of takers, Im not grumbling though delighted!

I have a very old box which has never been used but a couple of weeks ago some bumble bees decided it would make a nice des. res., only problem was its very near my back door. Eeeek !!

Val - we had the same thing last year - ignore them and they'll do you no harm ! : o )

wouldn't it be lovely if both ours decided to venture out on the same day?I think mine must be later than yours though,with not hearing them..maybe they can't get a word in edgeways...as Russell says.Lol

I dont think they will be long now Sandra every time the Parents go near they make a right racket, would hate to miss the coming out though, Iwas reading up on them and it saybetween 12-17 days from hatching, the problem is knowing when they hatched Lol

Exactly.! I can only see them from the kitchen...so not easy to watch as much as I would like...If I sat on a chair ,the window is too high to see out..and don't fancy standing up for long....shame really.:o((
