Birdbox & Nesting

The birdbox that Jon put up outside the window, is now home to some blue-tits.

I can see the parent birds flitting back and forth (and boy, do they!) taking food to the nestlings, as I sit in the living room, on the sofa. Yesterday I went out and took the photos above, and the blue tits hardly broke their stride! I didn't disturb them at all. They just kept on, feeding those nestlings! The cat was pretty interested though, so I might have to keep an eye on that, when the baby birds begin to fledge. 

Nest of Long-Tailed Tit

The nest of the Long-Tailed Tit.
Made from cobwebs and lichen! Lined with feathers.
There is a group of Long-Tailed tits who make a racket bouncing around the trees around my house.
They're like little round balls of feathers, with very long tails!
Despite them coming round to feed, I've never managed to see a nest. This one from Whitby Museum is the nearest I've come.
