We've got babies!
We've got babies - take a look here.
It's the first time I've ever actually seen a baby bird leave the nest. Yesterday, I was amusing myself by watching dad (or possibly mum) great tit feed the babies. I look out of the bedroom window at the nest box, watch parent depart over the roof of the house, sprint through to back bedroom, watch parent come down on the other side of the roof and visit the seed feeder, nip back to front bedroom and watch small head stuck out of nest box to await returning parent with food. Repeat.
Today, they've ventured out into the big open world - along with every other baby in the neighbourhood. We've never had goldfinch chicks visit the garden before, but there they were, along with our annual sparrow family. We don't know where the sparrows nest, but once they have the youngsters out of the nest, they generally move into our hedge and take up the arduous commute of one metre to the seed feeder for most of the year.
