Reviewing yesterday’s videos from the garden wildlife cameras this morning discovered that we had a brief visit from a Blue Tit, possibly a prospective lodger?

3-4 days? No! Blue Tits fledged this morning. 1 & 3 hesitated a little but 2 dithered for quite a few minutes.

Another 4-5 days and the Blue Tit family could be gone.

We’ve lost another of the Blue Tit brood during the day. Smallest appeared very lethargic this morning. Remaining 3 look healthy though.

Blue Tit update: there’s been a suspicion for a couple of days now that the smallest of the brood had passed away. Activity today confirms 5 are now 4.
