Follow the web cam exploits of Titus and Tiffiany blue tit raising their 9 eggs in their luxuriously appointed nest box.
Tiffany has lined her nest with expensive moss and has had Titus build a new extension on the nest box to house a web cam with a live feed, so she can show the neighbours her interior design skills.
Stills from the web cam.

9 eggs on show while Titus takes a meal break. They leave the nest for 5-10 minutes at a time to feed.

Spring bird box web cam
The web cam is currently off. We are sorry to say the blue tit family has had some sort of natural disaster.
We have left one of the images of the male and femail feeding the chicks in the webcam's place. As blue tits have more than one clutch of eggs a year we hope to bring you live coverage later in the year.
The web cam bird box is a complete unit that is supplied by the RSPB and has a colour camera mounted in the top. The light is timed to come on in daylight hours and allows the beautiful colours of the birds to be seen in all their glory.
