Blue Tits in Nest Box at Mickleover



Success in one of the nest boxes which Keith Lycett made and installed close to the veteran tree on NCN Route 54 some months ago.
The blue tit parents are to be seen flying into and out of the box at regular intervals to feed the youngsters.

What a superb photo. How was it taken without scaring off the mother bird? Who took it?

Great news. Wondered about the Robin I heard singing around the new nesting area last week. Did he/she never move in?

At 16:30 on 23/6 there were 2 squirrels in 2 separate bird boxes near the veteran tree. We need smaller mesh on the front of them??
