My word the NHS did a good job on my ears this morning. Can hear aircraft taking off at Heathrow now! Getting home and hearing the Blackbirds sing was music to my ears, literally!
Busy afternoon in the garden, rhubarb pulled, fruit patch tidied up. Good to see Ladybirds munching on the Aphids and Bees on the flowers. Hopefully a good year for fruit.
Late afternoon again was spent in front of the monitors.
Interesting to see Adult Starling enticing the chicks to the opening to feed. One scary moment when the Magpie did all it could to enter the box.
Blue Tits are showing signs of growth already. Fuz appearing above the eyes. Eyes as yet not open.
Not a polite way to describe this but - how to remove poo at this age. Chick turns ones bum to the adult who with beak pulls out the poo from said bum. Amazing.
Picture 1 - Starling Chick appears at box opening to secure food adult has brought but is staying at the entrance to entice the chicks out of their nest.
Picture 2 - Adult at entrance.
" 3 - Two Starling Chicks looking about for more wormy things.

" 6 & 7 - Breakfast time for the Blue Tit family.
" 8 - Adult has just removed poo.
" 9 - Waspy type bug sunbathing.
" 10 - Peacock Butterfly on House wall in morning sun.
