And other stories from the garden

A second brood

Jun 17th, 2012 by Chris

It’s never happened before, so we’d sort of stopped checking. But yesterday evening when the DVD we’d been watching came to an end the DVD player switched itself over to the nestcam. And there was a great tit sitting in clearly newly constructed nest cup. She was fidgeting a lot but it was impossible to see if she was actually sitting on anything.

But this morning when we put the telly on she’d popped out to gather grubs revealing five chicks in the next box! Looking back at film of the last lot I reckon they’re about 5 or 6 day old now.
