Stumpy and family

Post by Panteg Produce »

Our 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.

You 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.

Do you have to do anything, like sign up to Flickr, to view the pics? I just get a black screen {cry}

They are lovely piccies, thanks for showing them. )t'

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. {cry} We tried to put wire round, but he used to pull it off.
