We got back from Minsmere yesterday afternoon - a fantastic RSPB reserve!  I hope to write up something about the trip on the forum shortly.

Both broods seem to have survived our absence - how strange!  Kelly's chicks now have their eyes wide open and yell like anything when a parent comes into the box.  We can plug the video feed into the TV set and listen to the racket they make that way.

This was one of the early pictures taken this morning.  Unfortunately, the woodpecker visited before six this morning so the internal light was not yet on.  That means that I could not see how Babe responded the the woodpecker's visit.

I hope he won't come back.  We have had enough of growing chicks for a woodpecker to feed to his own!
