Stumpy and family
Stumpy and familyOur Blue tit nest box was used again this year , the male had an injured / damaged foot so we called him Stumpy. They worked tirelessly feeding the chicks & even though we missed the fledging yet again but believe that four or five chicks were successfully raised.

Re: Stumpy and familyYou must have been over the moon when you knew that the box was being put to good use again. A wonderful set of photos that I looked at more than once.
I am now a widow and live with my memories.

Re: Stumpy and familyThey are lovely piccies, thanks for showing them.
We took our nest box down as every year the blue tits used to come and lay eggs, they would hatch then Harry our cat used to climb up the tree and drag the babies out one by one with his paw. We tried to put wire round, but he used to pull it off. |
