8th May Day 4

After trying to fit a huge grub into a
small mouth Mr and Mrs Blue Tit
decided to have tug of war with
it and share it out.
8th May

Mr and Mrs Blue Tit have been busy bringing
grubs in all day. Look you can see
all 9 mouths.

The chicks are developing at a rapid rate.
They now have feathers on their wings,
which seem to have got huge over
the last few days.
