24th May..... Blue Tits Fledge.

Two broods of Blue Tits fledged from the garden early this morning. One pair were using the artificial House Martin box under the house roof eaves. The others using this nest box:

This is the last chick leaving the box at 6-35am.

This image was taken the previous day, interestingly the bird supports a ring on it's right leg, assuming the bird was one which had been ringed in the garden, that would make it at least five & half years of age, as the last Blue Tit to be ringed here was 19th November 2013. A family party of nine Long tailed Tits passed through the garden & first Speckled Wood of the year seen.
Don.
