An update from today, 4 chicks still going strong but I cannot see the smallest 5th chick so I assume it didn't make it 
we had a magpie attempt to access the box yesterday but thankfully it wasn't successful, I was going to report on another nest, we have woodpigeons that were nesting in the bay tree this year for the first time, they had been sitting on eggs for about 5 days or so but yesterday the magpie put a stop to that 
did the same to the dunnocks last year and the blackbirds a year before, my only safe birds are the ones in boxes sadly.
Anyway here are the starlings from today
