Another day for the eight great tit chicks has seen them start to show their feathers.
At just five days old I'm amazed at how much they grow in 24 hours. The parents constant feeding is obviously working well as all the chicks seem to be progressing well.
I won't get much chance to see them until the weekend but will have morning and evening images from tomorrow of them.
A new delivery of mealworms arrived today, just in time as the previous supply will run out tomorrow.
As you can see from the picture the chicks are already becoming greedy and wanting food every second of daylight hours.
The garden has benefited from some heavy rain showers this week, the pond in particular is reaping the rewards. The frog is now officially a pond resident and I caught up with him this evening.
Other wildlife are carrying on the spring task of raising young and I'm expecting to see more fledglings in the garden in the next few days. I think the robin chicks must be near to leaving the nest.
