Pete, Does your male come to the box to feed the female when incubating. I have not been looking at mine a lot during the day but it appears the female leaves the nest to feed during the day. I got a pic outside the box where he was feeding her but never in the box.

Yes he does feed her inside when incubating but not always, there are times when he calls to her to be fed outside.

Some random feeding vid's, getting bigger now feathers coming through eyes starting to open.
Treated the robins to some Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix this morning ' rockin robins ' ( getting a bit of cabin fever )

Really lovely vids Hardy glad they are doing well. I'm assuming parents are finding enough natural food still?I have appreciated nature more since the peace and quiet of lockdown it is humbling to really hear the sound of birds, especially the GT's which are calling the kids back to school with their 'teacher teacher' song, wish they would grace me with a nest one year!

They are growing so fast Pete. I feel quite sorry for them when mum digs into the bottom of the nest, looks quite uncomfortable . Brilliant videos as always Pete. Sue

Poor things, mine are doing the same too, even though the box is well shaded. Your chicks are coming along nicely though, when are they due to fledge?
