Cyanistes caeruleus


Screenshots from a webcam in our bird box. Loads of hungry beaks seeking food. We think there are at least four chicks and a pair of adult birds. The photos are not up to Spring Watch standards but the birds coming and going and feeding the chicks in real time are pretty to watch !


Eight years ago, on my sixtieth birthday, my children gave me a bird-nesting box with a webcam-transmitter installed.  For seven years we have watched time pass and the occasional spider spin its web - but no birds.  Today, after returning from holiday, we discovered a family of 'Blue Tits' being raised in our box. How pleased and delighted are we!  Kate Humble eat your heart out!
