Bird-Cam

It’s bed time!

As any mother would tell you putting the kids to bed can be a real challenge. Once you’ve put them down to sleep they get up and creep around, chicks are no different it would seem.

Update

Chicks are all doing very well.

On this first clip you can see all 7 beaks screaming out for food!

This second clip shows how well the birds are developing.

7 Eggs and Feeding!

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

Couple of videos from today.

Firstly: Here’s a video showing a lovely round nest and 6 eggs setup like snooker balls!

Secondly: Mr Blue Tit brings Mrs Blue Tit her dinner!

Nest Building Is Progressing!

After the slow start that we saw last year things seem to have picked up in the nest building stakes! The blue tits seem to work as a team with one passing the nesting material to the other. The wing flapping action compresses the nesting down so that once the nest is complete it will be nice and tightly packed thus providing insulation and a soft cushion.
