Great Tits feeding their young on my bees.

I think they are catching them on the wing at the moment here.
We've spotted where one pair is nesting: inside the wall cavity by bathroom pipes of the now empty house next to us.

They are just flying in through the apiary and then back out to the nest.

chaffinches, no one has mentioned chaffinches...

I have a nest box with a great tit family that shouted at the slightest noise. I put a slab of capped drone brood about 10 ft away - it took about an hour for the parents to notice it but only 30 minutes to empty one side and even less to empty the other side.

Not a peep out of the youngsters now - fat, full, happy and sleeping off their nosh.

I saw a bird munching on my bees yesterday. Think it was a tit.

We have REALLY healthy sparrow numbers in our garden, id say at least 30+ of them they strip the fat balls and feeders in a day or 2 the fatties.

They wake me up every morning with the racket they make under the window chirping away at crack of dawn.
