I’m pleased to say mum is doing an excellent job, I’ve noticed she is flying out onto fench and back again numerous times she is getting them to start to come up to the whole and strengthen their wings ready for their big day if fledging. I will be keeping an eye on evidence of little faces peeping out to to fed 😊

I can’t be sure if this one is the first or last one to fledge so far I’ve only seen one little head time will tell
Think he is the last one there’s been a long pause while she’s feeding others in the trees I’m happy this little one has waited for me Hopefully I will be able to count them when they start visiting the feeders in time

Oh yes I think I maybe it’s difficult to judge what stage things are at without a camera I think I estimated 18th may / 21may so I wasn’t far off I keep checking mum keeps coming to encourage it to leave then I return to my spot in the hope I see it go

I've got many good videos of this little chick but unable to put them on here on the last video i took he was close to fledging and i missed it. i have seen another tiny head pop up but i don't expect this one to go for another day at least

Well, it’s all quiet from the box I think the last one must of gone sometime today, I did see mum feeding this morning early I’m going to open the box later this evening, I really hope it’s not going to be anything upsetting I find

Albeit a very wet day here I’m sat watching the busy activity of the young blue tits and great tits on the feeders. So lovely to see, long may they stay around my garden 😊
these are the first great tit fledging, I’m really hoping there will be a second brood if it’s not to late 🤞🏻☘️
