The chicks are leaving the nest - so give the gardening a rest!

 

Here are just a few clips and images of this year's Great Tit family leaving the nest box.

We noted 6 chicks fly off yet believe there were more. The clip above shows the first one leaving the box. 
The chicks were a bit earlier than last season’s brood too.

All intrusive trimming of trees...
