Have the chicks fledged?
Not very much action tonight from the blue tit nestbox, leaving me to consider the fact I have missed the chicks fledging.
If I have I can rest assured I have helped provide a safe nest site and regular food handouts for my second blue tit family in two years.
I hope the parents or maybe a youngster and his/her new partner will return next year and occupy my new camera nestbox (yet to be purchased).
Of a late spring evening it's a joy to watch the swallows swoop, glide and perform unbelievable high speed twists and turns, all while catching insects.
I'm hoping the female(s) is/are on eggs as there did seem to be less birds around this evening. That could be put down to the rainy weather.
The video below is of a lone swallow from the weekend when the weather was a little better. A very graceful bird and probably my favourite.
