They have had thousands of you glued to your computer screens - but now the Bristol Evening Post blue tits are leaving the nest.

One by one, the ten chicks are sitting on the edge of the bird box at Avon Wildlife Trust's Folly Farm in Pensford and then flying away.

The cedar wood box has a camera in its roof – all supplied by the UK's leading supplier of such equipment, Gardenature - so you can watch the action as it unfolds via a live web feed.

Two blue tits moved into the cedar wood box, which was put into a tree in the farm's apple orchard last month, and laid their eggs.

Over the last few weeks viewers have been able to watch as the eggs hatched, and the chicks grew - even surviving an attack from a lesser spotted woodpecker.

The webcam was set up in the run up to the Festival of Nature, which will return to the Harbourside on the weekend of June 6 and 7 and is free.
