Leaving the Nest

On monday the youngsters (Great tits) flew out of the nest.

This is how the nest box was left behind.......quite greasy :-))

Great Tit

 In out barn we have a nest of Great Tits (aka Parus Major).

But these birds are extremely cautious!

They leave as soon as they see us or Sil close to the nest and they won't fly to the nest

box until we're gone.

This year they are using the nest box on the left.

In the autum, after they've gone, I clean the boxes with boiling water and some soda.

Hoping to see them again next spring!
