Great Tits

The chicks in our box fledged today Motherhubbard just be . They were later last year, so perhaps it is just where you are.

I like it when we can have a giggle on Gransnet .

Sorry Motherhubbard I just couldn’t resist. But (on a serious note) as I said up thread we rarely get any nice little birds around here as living near the coast we get a lot of seagulls .

GN at its best !!!!

I'm really sorry MotherHubbard, it sounds like she has a dud clutch

Oh stop it sarahcyn ! I am trying to have a cuppa here.

I'm really sorry MotherHubbard, it sounds like she has a dud clutch. That's so sad.

oh yes- had a giggle as I could see it coming.

Had the shock of my life a few years back as I made a mistake with a direct translation from French- and Googled black tits instead of coal tits - oh my ... that 'learnt' me for sure.

I'm another with a twisted mind!

Sorry we've hijacked your thread MotherHubbard

Tit's like coconuts.

Fact .

Thank you shysal. I could see it coming which made it all the funnier !

Thanks Shysal you made me laugh out loud.

Here you are folks. Sorry MotherHubbard! Keep us posted on nest box developments.

? For a nanosecond my initial thoughts too! and then I came to my senses with a "surely not this is GN for heaven's sake, it'll be about birds"...........which of course it is, sigh of relief

No there is still a lot of us around thank goodness

I'm so glad to see that it's not just me with a bit of a twisted mind

Yep me too Gillybob ?

Oh go on, enlighten us phoenix , I'm bored and need entertaining.

Sorry for lowering the tone. We don't get any tits around where I live (great or otherwise) as the bl**dy rats with wings would see them off.

Reminds me of the joke about the nun and the blind man......

However, lovely to hear that your nest box has been occupied MotherHubbard sorry if it hasn't worked out this time.

Apologies MotherHubbard, for lowering the tone of your post.

Gilly and Shysal, unfortunately, me too

I was thinking along the same lines, gillybob, but was scared to post! [grin ]

Nice ars* too.

Sorry.... I have sunk to a whole new level.

ah lucky you. We were also given one for Christmas, and installed it in a great spot- but no residents yet this year. We will leave it for another Spring then move it perhaps.
