I I’ve had a blue tit show a lot of interest in a next box. Have seen her taking items into the box (unfortunately I don’t have an internal camera).
she’s been a little quieter lately, I have seen her take feathers and cotton into the box which I’m sure is at the later stages of nesting.
The video attached shows her today, I’m almost certain I can hear babies but would she be feeding them from outside of the box? Have a look and let me know what you think she’s up to.

Thanks Linda! This is exactly what I thought happens, I don’t think the males have much to do with the nest at all. The female makes the nest and then lays eggs, I don’t think males ever enter. Makes robbos comment even stranger because not sure what was being suggested….
