A peaceful morning

Weeding flower beds abs watching the blue tits flying in and out of the bird box in the pergola trying to feed their voracious chicks

The tits build their nests in March and the female lays up to 14 eggs and then sits on them for 15 days

Once the chicks hatch they need to be fed up to 100 caterpillars a day each! No wonder they quadruple in size. After 3 weeks they are ready to fledge. I have given the cats strict instructions to leave well alone and even put collars with bells on their necks to warn the birds of their possible attacks. Click below
