An Update on a Very Special Blue Tit

This is an update on a very special blue tit that I first saw in 2014 that had part of one leg missing, it also had a bad case of scaly mite and was generally in not too good a condition. I managed to catch it and took it to Cuan Wildlife Rescue who successfully treated the scaly mite, it was released back into the garden and it has managed to raise a brood of young ones each year since then. We are now in the middle of winter and it still looks to be in very good condition, so I am looking forward to spring and maybe another brood of young ones.

How wonderful to get an update on the bird's success! Thanks, Maurice.

Thanks for your comments, it's good to see just how well it is doing, especially after the extremely cold spell of wintry weather that we have just had.

Fantastic. Well done to you and the team, and the little bird. He is obviously a survivor.

Heartfelt thanks Maurice. Such delight in seeing this video.

Your videos are very relaxing and informative for me. I am very glad that you helped this bird as, in my opinion, too many people would have been angered by you doing so; I can understand the desire to avoid any intervention in Nature, but such a stance ignored the fact that we are not a separate entity from our natural environment. I wholeheartedly believe that we should intervene, in a careful, well-researched and responsible manner, to improve the welfare of the life that we share our planet and heritage with. Thank you very much for your efforts in making and sharing these videos! :)

Thank you for sharing how she's doing. I have an ill blue tit also I cared for, he was alone all last year but now he has 4 friend .. wonderful!!

Maurice, I am sad .. I saw a blue tit today with a broken leg. I don't know if he is one of my regulars or a new one that's come. I have 6 now. He seemed alright and flying and feeding no problem and flying around with the others .. but looking at him I had tears in my eyes .. I remembered your little one with one leg and it has reassured me my little one will be ok too .. thanks for all your beautiful videos ! Jen in Ireland

Great story- long may the little guy frequent your garden with the kiddies 😄

[@MauriceBaker100]

Thank you Nicky. I'm hoping that it will be around for many years yet as the old recorded blue tit was 12 years old.

[@MoniqueSmulders]

That's really good news Maurice!

[@MauriceBaker100]

Thanks Monique, as you can see it's in very good condition for this time of the year and i'm hoping it will be around for a few more years yet.
