Can't remember the last time I saw any. Probably no more than within a couple of years of that photo.
We do have tits nesting though.
My Tits are back!

A perceived reduction in the numbers of a particular breed of garden bird is not always cause for concern. Although the environMENTALists will always insist they need BIGGER budgets to confirm the reason is "climate change", it is often for as simple a reason as a late spring cold snap or a nasty storm on a migration route.
My first egg!
Still only the one egg - I think they lay one a day until they have a clutch and then they incubate them. Anyway, I think he's brought some soft furnishings for his pad.
Looks like she's staying over tonight. Maybe there'll be another egg or two in the morning.

My camera turned green & died, one day I'll replace it but we had 4x tits & 1x robin families raise their brood in our box.
It is the most fascinating & enjoyable experience to watch this sort of thing, especially if you have the time to just sit & watch.
You HAVE to be there when they fledge.

I think another egg has been laid. Hard to make out.
Looks like three eggs this morning.

Settling down for an early night tonight. More eggs to be laid.
Day 4 and another egg laid.
Another one this morning.
It looks like a big family will soon be flying through the garden, though i imagine one or two will not make it.
They won't get a moment's peace this summer.
Busy-busy!

Yeah, I'm already getting worried about that.
