My home made nesting box on the back of the allotment shed is currently home to some bluetits. Yesterday morning one of the adults was flying in and out every 2 or 3 minutes with a caterpillar in its beak.
7 or 8 eggs is typical but they can have up to 14!
In the UK just 38% of juveniles survive their first year.
A plan for making a nest box like this and advice about entrance hole size came from the RSPB website.

After waiting a while for the Bitterns we decided to move on. Near the ramp to the Island Mere hide was a Cetti’s Warbler flying between three trees.

We slowly moved towards the middle tree when it wouldn’t notice us and eventually I managed to get a few shots!
