Great tits have been visiting my garden but no blue tits in the last fortnight or so,

Very high mortality rate this year

hope the little tits have fledged as the box is empty now - last year two died we found little skeletons but 3-4 survived

If the box is empty, there is a good chance they fledged

Aww, 18 blue tit chicks in one nest box
