parents feeding their young

The blue tits are beginning to show the wear and tear of constant feeding. We are now down to 5 chicks, 2 are practising wing flapping and have full colourful feathers, 2 more also look strong and just 1 a little smaller. Let's hope that 5 manage to fledgeYou will recall we started with 12 eggs and 10 hatched, it really is a numbers game.

In extra, mother is also feeding her 2 fledglings who returned to the nest with girlfriends. Great to have them around, the BBQ food was demolished and the favourite ginamisu came out.
