Sadly one chick died in the box (3rd June) and another was left behind on fledging day as it was too sick to make it out.   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.
