Farewell my little fluffy chirpies,,,,,,,,,,,,

Well what a long day. Up at 5am with a new tape in the recorder again. And the first baby bluetit fledged at 6;15am, then it was two hours before second one went. Twas really funny watching them on the computer and on the camcorder, u could see them sitting in the hole and they were getting clever as they knew mum an dad would feed the one in the hole first. The ones in the box were jumping up and trying to push the one in the hole out of the way, the one in the hole would be trying to balance an at stages it's wings an tail would be out an it still managed to reverse back inside the box and the chirping was constant all day. They also had a young house sparrow being very curious it kept going right to the hole an what looked like it was feeding them was just pecking at them really. Mr an mrs bluetit was telling it to go away politely that the box was not vacant yet. The babes were geting less in the box as the day went on. But i didn't see everyone leave as work still came first. But most sure that there was eight left the box in the end so they did do really well to only loose one after all. But it's been really great to watch them and even if my pictures wern't very good i saw it all. Oh the last one number eight left the box at 6pm, so an empty box now.
