I love the mums look when she first sees them she is like "What the bloody hell is that"  She sat there when first coming back in to feed them just looking at one of the legs  That is very shortly lived like back to normal now chicks demanding food comes over the new pink bracelets! |

You’re so brave Paul, I’d be terrified I’d damage them  |

I was at first, However my uncle is a professional ringer for the BTO, So the first time he come and did it for me and showed me and I just 2 of the full brood. But this is the 5th year of doing it now so its like second nature to me, Like today I ringed all 9 within 3 minutes and had them back into the box so its pretty quick turn around. Probably be less if they wasn't so dam cute and I had to get few pictures of them before returning them. |

So, Abit of a treat for you today guys, A wren is help feeding our blue tit brood and wait for her, Dolly and her male are completely fine with it!  Its not our female wren she is sitting on her eggs while its all been happening, So its either the male or a female whos lost her brood? I don't know but enjoy the video |

Wow, this is absolutely amazing Paul. So pleased RSPB have replied, but think you should also get in touch with Springwatch, this surely would be of great interest to them. You really are our Dr. Dolittle, the animals and birds seem to love you. Keep those videos coming, so cool. Sue |

I have never heard of that before let alone seeing it Paul.
Amazing that the BT parents are not phased by the wren's presence in the box at the same time as themselves.

Never seen nothing like it myself Beechnut, I am amazed by it! Still happening while typing this, I think it will likely carry on until fledgling now. Diane, Nothing can keep me away from food  Thank you for the comments everyone, Sorry for post overload haha! Just truly amazing to see this happening. |

Paul, its fantastic viewing, who wouldn't be glued to watching all day long. I quite agree with Sue about the spring watch, im sure they would love to use your footage and for you to be brought out into the open, would be lovely for them to film you. i love Dianes comment , does Cheryl show an interest in the birds. |

Amazing Paul, the video quality is much better on twitter, I’ve retweeted it and I’m getting lots of replies It makes up for the nasty sparrow episode you had earlier. |

That is very shortly lived like back to normal now chicks demanding food comes over the new pink bracelets! 
Paul - I'm having a great time today watching this video! I saw it on Twitter before I came back here & saw all the comments as above, clicked I liked it, came here and watched it again, so not surprised you're glued to your telly! 
Seeing as you're glued to the telly all day watching Jenny Wren being a female shining knight in armour - does Cheryl bring all your meals to you, or have you made a packed lunch for yourself?
