ITS FLEDGING DAY Here is a video of the first 6 going ( beware its a 4 minute long video) The other 5 are still in the box for now, Probably be gone later when I get home from work. But atleast I got to see half of them go To watch in HD you might need to click up the video and change the settings to view in full HD Video

Fantastic video Paul, so glad you got to see some leave. They all look amazingly healthy and it is wonderful to see them all wanting to try out their wings and flapping around one another. Bye little ones, have a great life . Hope the siblings wait for you to get home Paul. Sue

5 chicks are still in the box tonight, Nice surprise! I guess they will fledge in the morning Also another surprise, I have had a message off springwatch on twitter. My video from 2 days ago as had over 170 thousand views and went abit mental on there and they have reached out asking if i can send video of the 11 eggs, hatching, fledging so they can put it together for the show So I will get on that tomorrow! Heres the tweet that blowing up a little its basically the video from 2 days ago

So pleased they stayed for you to see them for a bit longer Paul. Hope they all fledge successfully โค๏ธ. What an honour that springwatch want to focus on you again - they know they can rely on you for a decent nest and good footage, well done. Will you be told which night it will be on? Will be watching anyway. Brilliant. Sue

Its a wrap guys I turned the cameras on at 6:30am and they was all gone I missed the final 5 going but I am made up I seen the first 6 leave before work yesterday! Just an empty nest now but 11 new little blue tits in the area Regarding springwatch, I sent footage over this morning. I haven't heard nothing but yet nor have I signed anything for it to appear on the show. If they end up using it for TV i'll have to sign the rights over to them so when that happens i'll know for sure its being used!

I didn't end up hearing nothing back Sue, If asked me to send over videos as they might be interested in using them on the show. I sent them over but heard nothing back or signed any forms so wasn't to be maybe they didn't have time to show them god knows!
My garden is full of blue tit babies at the moment seen 10 today and its been 2 weeks since they have left all over the feeders so looks like all the little guys are doing great!

Never mind Paul, but such a shame when you went to all the trouble of sending it all. Been very short on any blue tits on Springwatch this year . So pleased you are still hearing them all around, they donโt want to leave somewhere that supplies good food and accommodation obviously. Have a lovely summer Paul, and weโll all be back to do it all again next year ๐ Sue

Fantastic videos of the Blue Tits Paul. Amazing all 11 eggs hatched and all successfully fledged! They looked so healthy and strong! We rescued a Blue Tit fledgling yesterday that flew into our front window. It came round after 5 mins and we placed it in our front Cotoneaster Shrub where some of its siblings were located, it soon joined them. Dunno where in our street they ended up nesting but it they obviously succeeded in raising a brood. If the buggers roost in our boxes and then nest elsewhere next season I think I will start charging them rent! Did the Blackbirds successfully fledge?
