hiding...

4 of the lapwing chicks have survived.  We thought that the cats had got them because they were not in the nest, but the mum had moved them to the space at the bag of the plant pot, so the cats couldn't get to them.  1 has just flown, the other 3 are sat here waiting, they will probably fly in the next day or two.

Mum and Dad have been wonderful to watch, constantly flying to and from the nest with mouthfuls of food for the little ones.

I had already taken my photo for today, so it is now an extra.  Roy on the roof painting.
