The temperature is nice and warm here in the South East today. The parents have been steadily feeding their chicks since 05.40am this morning.
We can see at least 7 chicks in the nest cup, and they are beginning to get their downy coat before their feathers start to appear.
They are being fed a mixture of smaller caterpillars, worms and quite a bit of the suet ball hanging in the garden, much to the annoyance of the local starling population.
They all seem to be coping well.
The chicks have almost doubled in size in the short time since they hatched. Mum and Dad are doing a tremendous job.
