Bluetit Diary    May 2014 (7)

So how many chicks does Pippa still have?  This image shows that there are at least 6 of them.

And this one shows us that there are at least 7!

You can see 7 chicks here too.

A close up of the 7 chicks.

It doesn't look as though their eyes are open yet, though in their present dozy state I would expect the chicks to be keeping their eyes closed anyway!

It's now three days later, but all the chicks seem to be present!

You can just see that their eyes are opening too.

A close-up of a feed from Dad.  All seven chicks can be seen - a couple with their eyes open too.

Dad brings a mealworm to the nest box and Mum begs for him to pass it to her.

Although you cannot see this from this image, Dad doesn't co-operate and Mum leaves him to it in disgust!

It's now day 12 for the chicks in Box2 and here you can see that there are still seven of them.

Pippa is doing some housework!

Seven sleepy, but apparently healthy, chicks.

I have done some searching, and this is the first wing flap that I can find.
