That's great news Henry.

Are you keeping up with the meal worm supply? My Blue Tits and Robins can't get enough of them LOL.

LOL they do look so funny when they're carrying them don't they Henry.

Sometimes a moustache, sometimes a cigar (like this one).

You've got a great set-up for them.

With the constant threat of cats on the prowl I had to fix some wire around the box . The youngsters are growing by the day and are now stretching and flapping their wings .

The saddest .

Earlier tonight I noticed one of the adults trying to remove one of her chicks that had died .Attempts to haul it up through the opening failed , what it did next was quite surprising , she pecked into its belly then [it looked] like she devoured the contents . Once that was done she eventually managed to get the [smaller] corpse out through the entrance .Thats nature for you .

Gosh Henry! I've not heard of them doing that before. It couldn't have been very nice to observe, but fascinating though.

I hope the rest of the brood survive OK.

You must feel so proud, though Henry, to know that all your babes have grown up and left the nest!

Very nice pictures you've taken of the event too.
