Description

Yesterday I did my rounds of the nestboxes in the garden, so I could update the records online for our National Nestbox 'Challenge' which the BTO run. I did it late afternoon when most parents are out having a bite to eat themselves. I open the box and take a quick pic: I can't see in myself without getting the steps. I was thrilled to find this set of youngsters in one box..they are Blue Tits. There is a brood of Great Tits in another box, and I got a pic of a very peeved Blue Tit mum on eggs in the 3rd! The Robin box has been predated, but the back garden pair were successful as I showed in the pics I posted last month. Katraz has a brood of Robins in his greenhouse living in luxury!

How thrilling! (and not just me but for you too. LOL) They are such angels and so adorable. This breed of bird produces a much better nest than many birds. Outstanding!

That's the pinkest pair of blue tits I've ever seen! Fantastic shot, especially for a point & shoot without seeing!

I favorited this first thing this morning:-) It kept me smiling while I waited for the inspectors...There is construction going on at the house next door and one of the guys asked me why I was smiling off into space. So I brought him in and showed him and he said to tell you it is fabulous! I of course agree!!! You are so lucky to get to see these kinds of things!

The pink young'uns are shouting to shut the trap door, they're trying to sleep. Stellar colors and clarity in this great shot of the Great Tits, Andrea. Actually, that name elicits a different image in my mind, something I would attach with Dolly Parton and/or Nicollette Sheridan.

What a marvelously wonderful capture! Our Robin is still sitting on her nest keeping her eggs warm. She has found a perfect spot in the ornamental weeping cherry.
