Catch-up part ii - growing fast

Some footage from a few days later, 31st May. The weather has been pretty miserable, and the parents were struggling to feed the chicks. We have therefore bought tons of waxworms, and have been trying to devise clever ways of restricting them to the small birds, i.e. not Magpies! Here's some action of small (but growing) birds struggling to eat juicy morsels!



This was also the first day that the mother didn't roost in the box since the end of March. She's been squeezed out by her expanding family!
