For those who don't know, we have a nest box with a camera in in the garden at Patchings. This year a pair of Great Tits took up residence, they had 10 eggs by 23rd April, Maria then said we had 10 chicks by the 6th May.
	The parents were run ragged feeding them, there seems to have been plenty of food this year because a week later we still had ten healthy chicks.
Yesterday they were peeking out of the nest box and inside there was no nest visible - just 10 very large chicks. This morning when we arrived they had all flown the nest.
