January   February  
New bird box for 2004 a lot more waterproof and warmer. The box houses a BW infrared camera  wired up to our Computer, so we can capture pictures for on-line use
The first roosting blue tit, it's such a pleasure to be able to see what is going on inside, the interactions between the sexes, the nest building and the growth and hopefully fledging of the chicks
March   April  
March has seen a steady flow of nesting material. The male has done some work by feeding the female now and again
21st April She might well have been egg laden,  after spending most of the day out she laid her first egg clearly to be seen in this picture.
May   June  
The male has not been seen for four days, I believe the mealworm feeder is saving the day; an egg can clearly be seen that did not hatch. One chick died this morning. So there are now only eight left
1st June all the chicks have fledged this morning. The first chick left the nest at 7.21am. The eight and last chick took the plunge at 9.03am. Mum returned and seemed shocked at the empty nest
