Many thanks for the advice posted over the last few weeks. Was able to watch
from the comfort of the chair the BlueTits make their nest and raise their
family.

AND, yesterday morning, one at a time, 4 flew the nest. One didn't do too
well and his/her attempt at flying was not too god and it fell into the
garden amongst the bushes, only to be seen later rising from the vegetation
and making off. Another flew into one of the patio doors but suffered no
damage as it shot off down the garden. Had the door been open, it would have
come indoors. The others with some hesitation, took off.

Seen nothing of them since, BUT, I have been out a lot, in demand here there
and everywhere :-))

Questions. Not much life, in fact NO life around the nest, so, do I leave it
as it is? Clean it out? Leave it for them to build on next year? Leave it
because they may be back for another brood?
