In my diary entry for yesterday, I mentioned that one of the chicks was out of the nest cup for the day and was receiving very little food.
I am sad to report that the chick did not make it through the night and so we are down to five. Some flies have started to come into the box and I am concerned what will happen with the remaining five chicks. I am hoping they make it through to fledging.
Both parents continued to visit the box with food throughout the day and when I checked the box in the evening, the female Great Tit was roosting in the box.
More in my next diary update
