June `09. The new nest box on the summer house was used  by a pair of bluetits and it was quite a day when the young ones made a break for freedom.

Click on the picture to see some video of one of the chicks leaving the nest box.

It was all down hill from then as the chick got stuck down the bildges of a boat and when I got it out of there it the found itself inside the garden shed but we soon got it back out with its mum and dad
