Juvenile Blue Tits

I've not had much time with the camera of late but I couldn't resist these little chaps. One is a bit older than the other I suspect.

Re: Juvenile Blue Tits

Nice to see these Phil, nicely photographed. Seems to have been a poor breeding season this year, checking through a large starling flock recently i found very few Juveniles.

Re: Juvenile Blue Tits

Thanks mossy.

It's funny in that so many people have mentioned lower numbers this year. I wonder if it's certain species in particular areas as I can't remember having as many juvenile starlings as we've had this year. What I've not had nesting this year is the family of GS Woodpeckers.

I think Scotland had better conditions than us due to the Jet stream slipping further south than its usual position, May, June, and July, being awful, wonder if birds headed North rather than staying in their southern breeding sites.
