Further bird box news!

July 14th - Box 12 actually had 7 chicks - 6 fledged successfully and 1 was dead in the box - this was a runt which I had not ringed.

Earlier in July I had noticed Great tits re-entering box 1 form which a brood had fledged in mid-June.
On 14th July, I ringed 5 more chicks from a 2nd brood! Unsure if this was the same or a different pair of birds, but suspect the same ones, as the nest looked much as when the previous brood fledged!
Still to check if the 2nd brood has fledged.
