Bluetits: Flown the Nest

Blue Tit Update: after several weeks of frantic activity by the two parent birds until yesterday, today the nestbox is empty and unattended. All the young and their parents have left. They aren’t in sight at the moment: most likely they are not far away, as a family party. There are no signs of predation, and nestboxes mounted high on a wall are in any case very good protection against all our common nest predators.
