Bluetit Diary    Apr 2025 (14)

It's shortly before 9 o'clock and Max has brought some food for the chicks.  At this stage, the food given to the chicks is nearly always a little green caterpillar.  This is the larva of the Winter Moth which lives on oak trees at this time of year and which make excellent food for the chicks.

Having accepted the caterpillar from Max, Meg proceeds to offer it to one of the chicks.

This picture was taken just before iCatcher switched off for the night.  It shows that there is at least one egg that has not hatched.
