Bluetit Diary    Jun 2003 (25)

 

 

Monday 9th June, 2003

Well, at last the chicks have flown.  They hatched out on Sunday 18th May so they took 22 days between hatching and fledging compared to the 19 day period that we have normally experienced.

We arranging things so that recording would start at ten past five and our first picture then shows them still somewhat sleepy.  Fantail comes in three minutes later and noticing a white sac on the floor, forgets any other purpose for her visit and removes it.

Time to get up?

Wakey, wakey!  Oh, what's that I see before me?

Better get rid of it!

Now Fred pays a visit.

He found some poo too.

Now at last the chicks can be fed!
