Baby Bluetits

After the disappointment of realising that our nestbox fitted with a camera was not going to be used by the birds this year, I got a surprise this weekend. I was checking whether one of the older nextboxes had anything in it as it had been used by a Peacock butterfly over the Winter to hibernate. To my amazement I found three baby chicks looking up at me (I say looking, but they are still blind actually). There appear to be seven more eggs which have not hatched yet.
