Bird box in the garden

We have had blue tits nesting for the last 3 years in the bird box and this year I replaced the box with a better one. I decided to put a camera inside that can stream to the internet.

I thought it would be nice to share the experience with anyone that wants to see them.

the eggs hatched a few days ago.

Fingers crossed for successful fledglings Jason ;-)

Things are not looking good, i think something has happened to the adult female as she hasnt been back for 3 days and only the male adult is feeding the last 5 babies.
There was 8 but i think 3 are dead in the nest, the adult has'nt removed the dead babies and flies have started coming to the nest.

Oh dear that's a shame...I haven't actually heard of a successful bluetit nest this season so far..they are really struggling.
Thanks for the update

I made a box and put it up in late March. Sitting outside the other day I noticed tits coming and going from the box, so I can only assume they have young in the box.
