Bluetit Diary    May 2003 (68)

 

 

Wednesday 28th May (part 2)

At this time we had no idea about Flash.  You may ask why it took so long to twig that we hadn't seen Flash for ages.  Our only excuse is that we were concentrating on the chicks, not their parents.

Fluffy's brood is spilling out of the nest cup.

On the right, the chick standing on the floor of the nest looks almost as big as Fluffy herself.

When you consider how small the chicks were only a couple of weeks ago...  No wonder they need lots of food!

Obviously, the chick out of the nest gets preferential treatment - how would you like to face this demanding lot!
