EIGHT IN THE BED

And the little one said, "can have that caterpillar please."

Ok I made that up, but it's what the smallest chick could be saying.

All eight eggs have hatched and the parents are obviously feeding them well as they all seem healthy.

Due to a long day and spending this evening with my only offspring after she came home after a few days away, I've not spent much time looking at the chicks.

As the thunder booms overhead the female great tit is nestling on the chicks and keeping them warm during the night.

Over the weekend I hope to get lots of video and images of the chicks and note how often the parents feed them and with what food.

Until then I hope they have a good night of sleep, just like my daughter!
