Sad news, We have lost two blue tits chicks overnight / this morning 
I don't know what's gone on, They're getting well fed and was perfectly fine lastnight at sleep time.
I was going to ring the birds today but I am holding it off until tomorrow or Tuesday now.
I don't know what happened, I woke up to only 5 chicks in the nest box, So I am guessing two died overnight or first thing this morning! But how? Nothing could of got into the box and if they did am sure all 7 would of been dead.
Box hole is only 28mm aswell, So no bigger birds can even enter the box sparrows etc.
I'll be watching my nest box closely, I honestly can't wait for this season to come to an end.
I have never said that before about a season but this one as been rough!
Its been drama after drama
P.s sparrows have started egg laying.
