    Sensitive wildlife camera to capture blue tits coming and going from nest

    Hi, For the first year ever some blue tits decided to nest in the box I put up two years ago. I was over the moon and the past couple of weeks have been so happy for me watching the parents come and go.

    Nuthatch food sharing at the nest hole

    I spotted this nest site a couple of weeks back and re-visited today on a walk, great to see the birds still building and as is the case with many photographs, great to be in the right place at the right time, for a food share. I'll try to keep an eye on the nest from here on.

    I'm only posing for a second

    I was in a blind at the local lagoons when the swallow appeared. I liked the shallow perspective and the blur of the bird behind.
