i have just been sat for ages watching the box, one flew out which i thought would be jenny then a second one flew out so i think that was both parents, as yet ive to see a clip with both of them on together, its hard to tell when you only see one on each clip, im sure im totally wrong about it being a chick this morning as its far too early. so i think the new activity is the male feeding jenny through the hole. i think later the two i saw will show up on the video hopefully jenny went in then she sat for a while with her beak open waiting presumably to be fed its all very interesting all the same
THE TOP PHOTO IS JENNY WREN AND NOT A CHICK

Does sound like it could be Jenny taking the food for the chicks Ann. Well done for getting the picture though. Will look forward to updates. Sue

Great to see the little Wren's doing well Ann, Looking forward to more updates, Our wren nest remains Empty. Guess the female didn't like his choice of nest this time!

Thanks for the latest photos Ann, nice to see the happy couple! I suppose this is your last full day for watching the nestbox as you will be working again tomorrow - so enjoy it.

Lovely photos Ann and so good to see the camera and ‘shade’ haven’t put them off (you are braver than me). You have managed to get some wonderful shots, I am really envious of you. Great to know both parents around and hope you get some great shots on your camera - can’t wait to see. Superb stuff. Sue

Yes, strange how they just seem to vanish isn’t it Ann. Some people are lucky and get blue tits all year round but I only tend to see them at breeding time - not enough trees in my garden, but I can hear them about locally. Would think Martha would bring them by to say thank you for your hospitality . Guess they don’t think like we do. Sue

Joe and Jenny have been very busy caring for their family today, i think they have a good brood in there. i know of 5 eggs at least jenny is very cute, she rests in the box with her head showing through the hole, she listens for me, you can see she is listening, she doesn't move straight away as she is used to me coming close by
