Blue Tit Nest Box - 6 Chicks - 55 Days of Nesting, Egg Laying, Hatching, Feeding & Fledging

Highlights from the Blue Tit bird box in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, UK. Watch as the birds build a nest, lay 8 eggs, hatch them, feed them and then see 6 of the chicks fledge into the world.

Despite advice from the RSPB & my best efforts at feeding it, the sick little chick died 6 hours after the rest of the chicks fledged. Out of the 8 blue tit chicks that hatched, having 6 out living in the wild is a great success. #birds #nestbox #bluetits #birdcam #nestcam ++++++++++++++++ You can make your own Nest Cam using a nest box with WiFi Camera - https://amzn.to/3fxvDS8 ++++++++++++++++ Facebook :   / campcookexplore   Twitter :   / campcookexplore   Instagram :   / camp.cook.explore   Website : https://www.campcookexplore.com
