Blue tits nest I am new to this

We had a pair of blue tits nesting in a nest box during the first few weeks of may

this past few days we have noticed no activity no birds going to the nest box 

the nest box has nesting material in it

Will they come back to this nest box 

did something make them leave

we do have a feeding station the other end of the garden

  • Hi Bill, seems highly likely that they abandoned the nesting and decided to go elsewhere maybe due to being scared off possibly by predatory birds or cats or even one or both predated? Possibly there was not enough natural food in your area, had the weather been exceptionally wet and cool ... lots of different reasons but maybe simply changed their minds as Blue Tits often do!
