Blimey you're so lucky - they must be queuing up to get in that house - is it council owned? lol


 


We had a family of 6 or 7 bluetits descend on our feeders on Monday morning - amazing seeing so much blue in the trees. They don't half  make a racket though. :)

Nice pictures Sheila, fascinating stuff. We had 2 bird boxes for years nailed high up in a tree we had but not a sniff, the things eventually rotted and fell off.

unfortunately its brothers and sisters don't come any more - the local Buzzard/Fox/Weasle etc have to eat too.


 


Sorry I keep seeing carrots and mushrooms with this picture  :evil:  - only joking unless he eats my veg - then its "run rabbit run rabbit etc"


Plus he/she hasn't got myxomatosis yet.


 


Sorry about the pic its my phone and triple glazing

That's great stuff Sheila, they are really working hard this year. I haven't seen that many young Starlings about this year, we normally have a garden full. We have had Long tailed tits and a family of Jays pass through though, they can't be missed they sound like strangled parrots.

Are you are sure that they aren't a 'rabbit variant' of 'Tit'. Only seemed like yesterday the last lot went. :lol:
