I am now sadly down to four chicks but they are doing well and have grown a lot. Look near to fledging as they are 16 days now

Not good news here I am down to 2 chicks now. The male has disappeared and the female only comes in occasionally with suet. They are looking a bit shut down so not sure I will get any fledglings such a shame after all their hard work til now

So sorry to hear that Linda are they close to fledging? I think they are a similar age to mine which are about a week or so from fledging, fingers crossed they make it

So sorry to hear this Linda. Let's hope those little ones can get to fledging. I've had the same experience in the past and it's not an easy watch.

Both chicks fledged this morning unfortunately it was before I was up. Have seen mum at the feeder all day and caught sight of one of the chicks I hope they both make it
