Feeding time

Our little family is growing. I managed to watch feeding time through the window yesterday and the parents perch above the nest now. I managed to count three little beaks raised upwards for food. This morning Rob, the fresh air fanatic, is at home so the (French) windows are ajar. We are both quietly working and can tell when a parent comes back to the nest. There is a little chorus of cheeping ‘Me! Me! Me!’ or should that be ‘Moi! Moi! moi!’

I'm envious. What a treat to be able to watch that little family.

I have a family of sparrows in an old House Martins nest right outside my bedroom window. You should hear the row when the chicks start!

cas: I'm very lucky, they are cheeping away as i write.

John.g:I love to sound, not too musical at the moment, but soon I'll have a chorus of nightingales!
