Another beautiful day here in South East London, and Fred and chicks have been busy since 0500 this morning. Fred seems remarkably strong despite the pressure he has been under since losing Freda.
The last couple of days he has displayed an aggressive streak at the feeding stations, chasing off Goldfinches and Sparrows if they were on the feeders he wanted to visit. The fatherly instinct in him has really come to the fore, so once the chicks leave the box we're confident he will be doing his utmost to look after them.
More later....
