A few weeks ago I noticed a birds nest had been constructed in the top part of my Chimnea in the garden

I havent seen any activity around it since spotting it, but left it as I dont want to disturb it, just cant use the Chimnea at the moment lol

Anyway this morning I saw two blue **** sat on top, and then one went in, and tonight I had a quick look inside and a little baby chick popped its head up with its mouth wide open

I am pretty sure they are blue tit chicks, but cant really see in properly to tell, and I definately dont want to disturb them

I may set the camera up tomorrow if the weather is good, and see if I can get a pic or two of them

I mis-read and thought.....Wow! A cinema in your garden!

Sonic'

no thats in the living room

Not sure I can find out if they are Blue Tit chicks or not, unless I wait till they grow a bit more

Good job I didn't make the title Blue Tit Chicks then

i actually tried to google that as well, you wouldnt believe the pictures it brought up with Donna sat next to me

Tam the bam

True

Not worth the hassle, you'd need about 4 chicks to even make a decent sandwich

an oldie but a goodie

hectic

Did somebody say bluetits...

Good on you mate for letting them develop

Sonic'

LOL @this thread now

I dont have magpies, but there are quite a few starlings

It definately is a Blue Tit, I went back out earlier, and the mother was sat on the nest

Cool, at our old house house we had a sparrows nest in the alarm bell box (every year for about 6 yrs) another sparrow nest in the Ivy and a blue tit and a blackbirds nest in the bushes at the bottom of the garden, needless to say it was noisy in the morning, but nice

In the new house there is no nests about but some of my neighbours have great ****, which are pleasant to look at

Sonic'

I do have a bird box at the back of the garden and some **** do go in and out of there, its always, always noisy round here from about 3am with the sound of birds tweeting

You really wouldn't want to see the neighbours **** though :shudder: she gets undressed in the bedroom with the curtains open, but she is at least 90

Whats a Chimnea? Never seen that word before.

Charles aka Charlie

Are you being serious

Will look something like this, less the flames and **** nest

Jamie

Chimney is a swift bird

the name is because they like chimneys stick to them like glue!

chimnea: Google hits: 21,400
chimenea: Google hits: 3,860,000

So the word chimnea is about 180 times rarer than chimenea, not surprised that Les hasn't seen it before

Sonic'

It is a bit similar to that one in the pic, but has a removable chimney top

Checked again earlier, and there are definately at least 3 baby chicks in there

Leslie

Thanks for that. I was being serious, had not heard of one before.

Good luck to the 3 chicks I say.
