April (Page 9) 2010        
A box full of chicks at least 9 maybe 10
 
 
 The Great Tit family is growing well, the weather has been kind to them so far

 

You could be fooled into thinking there are only 7 chicks in this nest

 

 

 
Again in this shot only seven hungry chicks can be seen

 

 
The parents can be seen trying to get awkwardly bent mealworms down the throat of a pair of chicks

 

 

 

 
Ever hungry mum sits waiting for a faecal sack

 

 
We have as yet, never managed to see the ten chicks that have hatched, but if you count beaks in this shot, you can see eight and a body less a head

 

 
 
Attentive parents

 

Another bent mealworm, very tasty

 

 
 
We have not seen any chicks removed from the nest, so there should be ten, fingers crossed!

 

Back in box 2 Brocken Feather the mum has been busy laying an egg a day

 

 

 
Here she is bringing some more reinforcing material

 

Here is dippy dad, with food for the expectant Mum

 

 
 
Another egg gets laid and the count is mounting

 

This charming scene Dad feeding Mum

 

 
 
This is the exact moment yet another egg is laid that makes 9 eggs as of the 30 April

 

Then she snuggles down into the nest, sometimes putting a feather on her head while she lays there

 

 
This we thought looks just like a Jumbo Jet coming in for a landing. The glide slope just passes the outside of bird box 2

 

Tenth egg laid in this video, then watch dippy Dad
