Wednesday 23 September 2010 - They've Hatched!

Mum and Dad have their work cut out for them. They've been in a flap all day trying to keep up with those two hungry little fledglings in the nest. I took a chance and peeled back the paper covering on the window and managed to catch this shot of one of the parents just flying off for another round of food whilst the other parent (to the right) is dropping their offerings into the hungry little mouths. Wow those babies can eat!











I then stood at the bathroom window peering out at an awkward angle until one of the parents returned with a morsel of food. If one looks carefully below the mother one can just see a tiny little beak wide open and stretched up waiting for food.
