Our blue tits have lost the baby chick look and are now starting to look like blue tits. There is much stretching and flapping of wings while the parents continue to try to keep up with their hungry demands. Blue tits fledge around 3 weeks after hatching so will be leaving us very soon.
The stock doves went on to lay a second egg as expected and have started incubation. Stock doves are similar in appearance to the much more numerous wood pigeon, but lack the white neck ring and wing bars.
Meanwhile our kestrel chicks continue to do well. They have put on weight and mum has virtually stopped brooding, joining her mate in hunting for the family.
While mum is away the chicks huddle together to keep warm.
