Info for great tit friends:

Our great tit chicks were hatched on June 24th-25th, and they may be expected to leave the nest at 18-19 days, similar to the first clutch of chicks,. In the video we see them touching up their ”flight dress”.

So early on Wednesday morning at about 6 o’clock the departure may start unless there is heavy rain or some similar problem.
