    Nest box update - 5th and final

    Well, the last of them have fledged today.

    Saturday

    Sunday - 5 visible

    Sunday - looking out at the world - this one then actually fell/jumped/was pushed (we shall never know which)....

    Just before the leap.jpg

    .... and ended up amongst the weeds looking rather bemused by it all

    Monday - another one assessing the risks

    and then there were 3

    and then they were gone (apart from the fairly well-advanced dead one)

    It has all been quite an adventure!

    Nice to see the young leave the nest and a little sad to see one dead in the nest but propably the weakest/youngest so likely it wouldn't have survived.

    Ours fledged when we were out, no noise from box now.

    Interestingly just seen image of a nest box the contained both great tit and blue tit young.
