Blue Tits Nesting
3 Answers
Two years ago we had a family of great tits nesting in our nest box in the garden .
When the chicks had hatched and left we decided to install a nest box camera hoping that they would return the following year.
I installed the camera late autumn of that year and was surprised to find that a blue tit decided to take up residence.
He stayed through the winter but didn't nest there,just used it as a bachelor pad I suspect,but he came back again this winter and is still there,I was wondering if anyone knows if this is normal and will he/she not actually nest and bring up young again this year
Thanks in advance for any guidance
