Re: Blue Tits nesting diary 2006

Just back from a couple of weeks holiday - most of it in Cornwall - to find that all our tits have flown the nest. Hooray!

Judging from their size when we left for our trip they would have been too big to remove if they had perished, so it was a huge relief to find the nest empty. It must have been getting awfully hot in the nestbox (even sitting under a tree today I find it almost too much for me), so they are now out there somewhere to begin the lifecycle themselves. The odd thing is that once they fledge you hardly ever see them or their parents. Where do they go?
