Great Tits have fledged

Re an early post I added onto a thread  'My baby Blue Tits are dying!. posted by 'Elsie' on the 15th. An update on my GT's. The remaining 6 chicks fledged this morning.

Commence countdown, didn't capture the actual launch.

Was 6 now 5

Missed the next 3 to leave, down to 2

All gone, except for the remains of the unlucky ones. Will leave for a couple of days before removing them to make sure parents or fledgling don't roost overnight.

 

The internal shots of the box were photos on TV screen, bit iffy quality(very iffy).

The parents have been busy in the garden collecting food but flying off to other gardens  so assume fledglings have dispersed

Cheers Richard
