do blue tits have 2 broods?

[dannom]

My blue tits fledged over 2 weeks ago, since then i have seen them around with the parents.

Anyway today i noticed the male (very easy to tell its him) is going back into the box with a mate, possibly a new one or the same female im not sure.

Could they be thinking of raising another brood? anyone know if this happens?

thanks

:)Hello!!,
Yes I have read that they can have several broods during the season, thats why I am still hoping for someone to move into my birdbox camera one!!!
Good luck its sounds as if you will have another new family! :):)

Blue Tits had 1-2 broods in one season only.

It all depends of the food source of mainly green caterpillers.

Blue Tits start breeding mid-April time, and can produce a lot of eggs. Eggs numbers can be up to 16 eggs.
