This is a re-edited version of a previously posted video from last week.
There have been thousands of comments on the previous version asking what happens to the chicks which have died in the nest. They are not fed to the remaining chicks and no chicks were harmed by predators.

If you are considering showing this to young children please watch it by yourself first. Nature can be harsh.

As you'll see, several of the chicks didn't survive to fledging. There was a cold snap in the UK during the nesting period which could have had a bearing on the matter and massively reduced the amount of caterpillars available as food. Rest assured that the bird feeders were (and still are) well stocked. Like minded people with bluetit nest boxes in the UK left comments saying many of their chicks also hadn't survived through to fledging this year either.
The chicks hatched over a four day period, usually this would only be a two day affair. The final chick to hatch on day 4 didn't stand much of a chance compared to its siblings which were already much larger after 2 or 3 days of being fed.

The sharper eyed amongst you might have noticed that there isn't a day 15 or 19 in the video. This was due to a recording failure and a computer meltdown. The camera and computer had been streaming 24/7 for two and a half months and started to fight back!

The parents continue to feed the chicks in and around the garden and the chicks have not returned to the nest box. This is absolutely normal.
The white fluff in the nest is Sheep's wool.
