Yes, already a few days they try to look out. They won't be here for much longer, I think. They are growing so fast in comparison to the big birds of prey we usually watch.

Can't be long anymore, they all try to get the best place at the window
They must be glad to get out of this flea hole ... poor things.

I checked, the nestling time takes usually 17 to 21 days, one source says they fledge when 3 weeks old. The first 4 hatched on 9th May, so they are 2 weeks old now. Still a bit to go.

Wow, they are grown so fast! Thanks all for the nice snap shots and updates!
All six look good!
They are always in action, preening, stretching, sleeping...and again.
Last Monday five little blue tits fledged from an nest box in my garden. I had the luck, that I could observe this event!
