Nicely snapped Meg, we have blue tits around but not in our nest boxes unfortunately, although we do have a family of robins in a roosting box.

Great nest photos of the blue tits, Meg

I wish I could have something like that in my garden, it must be so interesting to watch.

Thank you both the nest box has been there for a few years now and remained unused .

I wish I had a decent camera and could take a clearer photograph.

The nestlings are not far from my bedroom window and they make such a noise at dawn asking to fed they wake me up

It has been so interesting watching them I will miss them when the fly away .

Thanks Muddy I think it takes a few years for a box to 'bed in' and get accepted particularly when it is near a house.

I was fascinated watching the nest building, the birds nipped the tips out of my lavender as well as soft moss from the lawn it must be soft and sweet smelling in there

Oh no they are still being fed as I speak, I will be watching them from dawn tomorrow to see if I can catch them learning to fly...

Re: Baby Blue Tits waiting to be fed

Meg, that first picture really does look like it's cross waiting for it's food

How lovely you can see them from your bedroom window.

There was a nest box here in the trees when I moved in. Nothing ever went in though
I lost it last year. It broke up when I had the trees trimmed.

Hi Pesta they are so entertaining, I don't know how many baby birds there are but think they must take it in turns to stand on each other and peep out

There is a lot of squeaking then one appears looking huffy.
