Great Tits nesting
A family of Great Tits have taken residence in an earthenware pot laying on its side in a Holme-next-the-Sea garden. The male has a broad breast stripe whilst the female has a narrower stripe. The pair have been very busy feeding the chicks and the diet seems to be mainly caterpillars. Sadly, one chick has not survived but hopefully the rest of the brood will fledge successfully.
