Nesting Birds

We were in the garden today when we saw a great tit leaving one of the nest boxes. The box was the one I have fitted a video camera in on previous years. The first year with the camera the eggs laid in the nest never hatched. The second year the nest box was not used. This year the camera was not wired up! When I had a look this was the state of the nest.

At the same time I checked the other nest boxes in the garden, and discovered this blue tit with recently hatched young.
