10 April 2017 - Our blue tits are growing before our very eyes. Mum and dad have been excellent parents and our volunteers have been recording that they have been feeding the chicks on average 4 times every five minutes. A large percentage of the food has been green caterpillars.
You can see how much more feathers they have grown and the first chick has opened his eyes.
11 April 2017 - Mum has kept the nest clean delving deep into the bottom of the nest in her efforts…
To the point she actually ended completely upside-down, legs in the air, which caused much amusement.
The nest is getting a bit crowded now!
12 April 2017 - make that very crowded…
Believe it or not there are still eight chicks in there!
