Hopefully Pixi as they get used toyou and know you,re not a threat the,ll not be so nervous, such a treat to see them so close

Lovely Picture Pixi - lovely little birds - they're not renowned for staying in one place for too long - well caught

Hope so Pam! Not so sure they like Suki!
Thanks Paul..wish I had had the door open!

Pretty little birds aren't they :o)

Hi Pixi ..
Blue tits are cute, pretty, fidgety little birds, aren't they ... That's lovely you have them visiting your garden, and maybe nesting. :o)))

nice one..love watching the birds every day in mine..i get loads actually, ive counted 36 different species since ive been here..great pici pixi

Great pics Pixi never managed to catch them in my garden they don't stay very long and move very fast.

Like your gardener Pixie,is he any good,can I borrow him? (:0)

Hope you get to see the babies,if they are nesting in your box,Pixi..I thoght mine were going to nest in my box again ,but looks like 'mum' changed her mind,.not seen them going in or out for a while now..They have been doing some repairs and building work ,on the Bowling Green wall,directly above the nest,so I fear all the activity and noise has put them off..grr !
They are still coming to the feeders though..and remember the Sparrow Family ? ..they are back ! Lol.

very nice Pixi, i love little bluetits such acrobatic little birds....great pics...

Lucky you Pixi, they are lovely little birds and there colour is a nice change from the blackbird and magpies we usually see, lovely..

lovely photo's Pixie, well done

like tiny friends coming to visit you ~ thats lovely pixi

THnks all :) They ahve been going in and out of the box with little twigs :))))))))))))))))))

How cute and very exciting to have them nesting in your garden Pixi. Your garden is looking great and I love your mirror, i may have to get one :-)

How wonderful Pixi.
Did your dad particularly like Bluetits? Just wondering, you never know ;-) x

Well done lovely photos and blog.

They are very flighty Pixi - you've done well there!

Lovely pictures Pixi - it is difficult to get close up shots of them. I've given up trying. Well done you :)

I have 3 mirrors in total Popedot :)
Well he always fed the birds and were quite a few in his garden along with other birds :)Thanks CLarice and Sheilar :)
Well henny if I had had the door open maybe could have zoomed in a bit I dont know im no photographer lol Been so nice seeing them every morning :))

I just love Bluetits...especially the young one when they practise flying. :o)

Aw well i hope they stay and have their babies here :)))will have to set up a camera ready! :)

good pics, blue tits are very difficult to photograph so you have done well;-) we have got some going in our nest boxes but my cats always manage to scare them away:-(

Well I'm just hoping Suki doesnt do that..but its her garden too..I'm sure they can all live happily ever after :)

I hope so Pixi. great photos. We sat and watched a brood leave the nest in one of our boxes for hours one morning a couple of years back. The parents would put some humans to shame they were so attentive. I do hope they use the nest.

Well they are still bulding it anyway ..was watching them at 7am..busy little bees :) Love to watch them :)

they are here too pixi, i love them

:) My favourite birds

not sure which is my favourite, i do like oyster catchers, love puffins, but do not like cuckoos!!!

It sounds as if they are definitely going to be having a brood. They can have up to sixteen babies at a time. Just as well pa blue tit helps out. Ours had eleven that time. Its inspiring watching them.

Wow then do they all live in the box??????????

You might have to build an extension,Pixi..:o))

Yes until they come out to fly for the first time. I don't think they go in again after that. We were in kinks at the first one Big brave boy? /girl. Its mother tempted it to come out a bit and just held the food away far enough so that it could not get it. It got itself on to the rim and tried to fly away but panicked and held on with one claw. Never again will anyone persuade me that these wee things don't know fear. It managed to get itself back on the rim and then with a bit of fluttering by mum and dad who had also returned with food for the babies it took off and landed on a branch doing a somersault before righting itself again. The parents were in and out as regular as clockwork at ten minute intervals over the next four hours by which time all 11 babies were out. They continued to feed the ones which came out earlier but gradually they started to feed themselves on the tree. The parents are good housewives too. They bring food and when they go hunting again they bring out the poo pellets and drop them well away from the nest. Thank goodness I'm retired I would not have time for them if I was still working.

lol Yeah Bloomer!
Awb well I hope I get to see all that too ..need to set up a camera somehow maybe. Thats great to ahve witnessed all that :)))

I hope you see at least some of it Pixi.

Yes me too. Its hard to take a pic as the box is right outside the backdoor on the wall..have to think of something! :)

Lidl or Aldi had bird boxes with cameras. I would imagine they will all have gone by now, but put one on your wish list, they had them last year too so will very likely have them again. I think they send photos to either your computer or your tv. Your very own 'bird watch' Its either that or live in a tent in full view of the box while it is all happening lol.

Oh my goodness really? THats fantastic! Must get one for next year ..will look out for them! :))))))

Well what a well behaved little bird, we have them nesting in a box on the fence but I have never managed to get a picture as they never seem to be still.

yeah they dont stay tstill long!

good pics for a phone Pixi, I love there colouring, put boxes up but no takers yet, couple of blackbirds in the eves though.
keep that camera ready for the chicks.

THannks GL I have had one box down on the shed for about 6 yrs..never been any in there tho some have inspected it..I put this box up about 2yrs ago its soouth facing which is what they like apparantly. Cool you have blackbirds in the eaves! Look forward to seeing pics :))))))
