Dads not the best with mealworms, Mum cant stand watching in the end and takes over
 
 
 Its still very hard to tell just how many chicks are in the nest. We have counted at least nine

 
Both parents have been great

 

  

 
With the help of our constant supply of Mealworms the chicks have grown fast

 
 
The early morning and all the chicks are asleep

 

    
 
They soon wake up at the slightest noise

 
 
Mum tries to catch an extra bit of sleep

 

  
 
Breakfast is served

 
They are starting to break out of the nest cup now, only a few days to fledging, lets hope the little ones catch soon

 

  
 
Dippy Dad seems to have got he's act together

 
This is their clutch of ten eggs

 

  

 
Dippy feeds Broken Feather, while she sits on the eggs

 
So far so good, a few more days and this will be a hive of activity

 

  
 
The nest cup is so low it takes all her strength and the use of her wings to lift herself out of the nest

 
The bushes were very late in leaf this year, so our Robin built a nest elsewhere

 

  
 
But it keeps a carful eye on this box, perhaps a second brood later in the year

 
 

The Honeysuckle box suffered the same fate, the snow we had  this year has set the Honeysuckle plant back, with very little plumage to hide the box
 

 
This doesn't seem to put the Great and Blue Tits off though, who visit on a regular basis
