Nesting

 The letter box babies finally fledged at the weekend - here they are just before leaving the nest, now nicely covered in feathers having been fed and nurtured by their very attentive parents over the last three weeks.  Sadly one of the four didn't make it but we wish the other three well, and hope they come back and have more babies in our letterbox one day.

Meanwhile, there is more nesting action going on in the old outside loo, these beautiful little blue eggs belong to a blackbird, so watch this space - we will be checking on their progress over the next few weeks.

And also here, inside the Christmas wreath stored in Tim and Christine's shed, this little nest is like a down sleeping bag, lined with lots and lots of tiny feathers, so I'm guessing this belongs to a long tailed tit.
