    Blue Tits Nesting At Last!

    Thanks for the warm welcome all! I'm in Lancaster, only half-an-hour from you Ann! Well, they keep getting more twigs, more feathers, more everything! They must be expecting about 100 eggs from the work that's going on there! When do the chicks normally appear?

    Blue Tits Nesting At Last!

    Hi, First time poster here... after a two year wait, our nestbox has finally been occupied by a pair of blue tits, and they are busy filling it with nesting materials. Is there any advice you might give us to help them? Thanks in advance! Andrew
