Thanks all , We usually find several nests in the garden but not so this year we have had loads of stray cats & squirrels I've seen them watching the birds at their feeding tables , I have found broken egg shells so maybe they are more cunning at hiding the nests . Kat I don't knit at all clever little birds must find bits on their rounds , Julia I wasn't at all sure the photo would come out Tony had seen the Gt Tit previously taking worms down the pipe and was suspicious he then peeped down with a torch that was 2 weeks ago so we are assuming this is a second clutch of eggs it was pitch dark I held the camera over the pipe and used the flash , I wonder how the young fly upwards to get out ?

Fabulous photo Amy ... aren't their nests such a work of art? We have been watching a pair of Blackbirds stealing the hanging basket coir liner for their nest building. Fascinating ... :o)

Awesome pic! Do you think they can handle 2 feet to get out? They might need your help?

Wow! Thats amazing! Lucky you. Was just saying to OH that we shall put some nesting boxes up in the autumn. We do have a couple of house sparrow nests and one Swallows nest, but we cant see any of them. We did have a Blackbird nesting in the log pile, but OH disturbed it accidentally, not knowing it was there, and the birds abandoned it. Blackbirds do nest in stupid places. :(
