On our small balcony in Paris, we installed during 2006, a box for bluetits. The nest is high placed and near our french window. A small pair of blue tits settled there at the beginning of 2006 and nidified during the spring and four young titmice fledged in May 2006.

In 2007, the nesting box was installed in the same place on our terrasse, with two webcams. At the beginning of anuary, first visits to the nesting box, a new nesting starts. May 18, three chicks left the nest.

In 2008, seven youngsters leave the nest May 26, raised by the mother alone the last two weeks.
