Great to hear you had a decent birthday. Glad the robins have fledged too, I'm sure they'll be around,I'm sure they'll know which side their mealworms are buttered 😊

Very belated birthday wishes. Lovely to hear of the 5 robin babies out there. Hope they keep safe. Congratulations on the bluetit babes as well. I am so missing a nest this year but enjoying everyone's pics and videos.

Glad you had a great birthday Paul with your loved ones, bit too cold for me to sit outside I’d need to take my duvet and hot water bottle to keep me warm Wooohhhooooo! Glad Peacocks eggs have hatched Paul, did all 10 hatch?, I’m not quite sure when mine will hatch, Iv got an order of mealworms and waxworms to come, but won’t arrive while Monday, however if push comes to shove I will visit the little local pet shop near me who supplies these but obviously a bit more expensive for the few you get, but it’s worth it isn’t it How long was Peacock from incubating to hatching Paul, it seems she’s been really quick fingers crossed for them all Paul Elle xx

Sorry I am not that active at the moment, I have started a new job and I just haven't got the time I had last year sadly. I will catch up with everyones posts tomorrow night (might put my cam live streaming tomorrow and post the link) But for now here is a few clips from today of our chicks being fed nothing but mealworms its literally 95% of the diet at this point thank god for mealworms! Video here P.s the led light is now on due to the tree being in full leaf don't know if you can tell much of a difference compared to all my past videos with no led light on let me know I can see the difference myself but the camera is brilliant quality with or without the light. Little happy family

The quality of the video and photos are amazing Paul, will seriously consider investing in one for next year, are they difficult to set up? Best of luck in new job btw

Pleased that everything is going well for you Paul - pity your time is being interrupted by that 4 letter word (w**k), but your array of cameras seems to be covering things pretty well.
I was disappointed that the robin exit was not on camera, but I hadn't realised that they did not leave the nest 'on the wing' but rather hopping it!
Looking forward to your other feathered friends fledging.
Still nothing in my boxes - the rooster I've had in the wallbox has not been in since the night-time temperatures got above zero several nights ago.

Chicks are doing great here, I think we have 7 ( not 100% sure ) I know we have a few unhatched eggs With all the heavy showers and rain here over the last week mum and dad are really relying on the mealworms I'd hate to think the outcome if they didn't have them, The weather here has been honestly shocking since the first week of May! Looks okay tomorrow then another full day of heavy rain Saturday thank god for mealworms
