Unfortunately the disk drive ont he bird cam server filled up over night which has taken the operating system and therefore the live bird cam feeds are offline.

I will look at bringing it back up online tonight!

Chicks are all doing very well.

Mr Blue Tit brings Mrs Blue Tit her early morning breakfast. Unfortunately it’s slightly too large to manage in the nest so she pops outside to eat it.

Looks like 7 eggs is our total for 2009 as it’s remained at 7 for a about a week now
