8 Chicks

OK. It's been a week now and we still have 8 chicks in the nestbox.
A steady supply of mealworms from the fridge has managed to keep them all alive despite the lack of insects "in the wild" due to the very dry weather.

A new season in the bird boxes

We've had a Great Tit sleeping most nights in the camera bird box since before Christmas. I didn't notice this and cleaned it out in January, much to it's annoyance.
I put some dry moss and other nesting material into the box and it sorted it out and carried on sleeping in there, but this weekend it threw the whole lot out of the door so the box is now almost completely empty!
