Coal Aston Update

After checking the nestboxes at Linacre yesterday morning, I drove across to the farm site at Coal Aston to check on the four active nestboxes.

The first box that contained 8 Blue Tits on my last visit now contained 7 chicks that were old enough to ring.

The next box contained one large Great Tit chick that was also old enough to ring and 9 cold eggs. The final two boxes both contained sitting Great Tits, which I left. I'll come back to them next week.
