Starling Chicks

Following on from my last post about this year's Starling nest, I'm very happy to report that, from the 5 eggs laid, we know have 5 healthy chicks.

1st May 2020

The chicks hatched out on Monday 27th April, and have enjoyed a reasonably decent (weather wise) first week of life. Both parents have been very busy bringing in food for the young birds, and they seem to be thriving.

As this box is on the side of my house, I can still monitor it for the BTO's Nesting Neighbours Scheme, and I'll be able to ring the chicks in about another week's time.
