Bluetit Diary    May 2004 (18)

 

 

Sunday 16th May, 2004

It's early morning, a quarter past six actually(!), and the chicks are still half asleep.

That all changes when Fluffy comes with some food!

However, the chicks are still small enough to be sat on by Fluffy.  Here she has been doing her delving thing to get at creepy crawlies and bits of dirt at the bottom of the nest.

She won't be able to do this in a few days!

The chicks are increasingly hungry and continually shouting for food.  Here you can see that even both the parents together cannot satisfy their demand for food.

"If only the humans would wake up and give us some mealworms!" they seem to say.

No chance of that - it's only a quarter to seven!
