11th May 2021 - Seven Chicks? - Blue tit nest box live camera highlights
Well, well, well. One of the chicks has been playing hide and seek with us for a day. There was another eggshell spotted at 530am on the 2nd day of hatching but no sign of a chick. There were two more shells discarded (eaten) today. We all only saw four chicks yesterday and 6 chicks today but here at the nest box there was always the question of what had happened with the 530am Monday shell. It was a blink and you miss it event.
Having carefully trawled through Tuesday's footage it seemed that just at one moment there was seven mouths.
So here is the footage and you can decide for yourselves! Click here (8:12) to go directly to that bit of footage. The editing elf has done his best to highlight the chicks. Oh, there's definitely one more egg still in the nest as well.
More tomorrow...
Brilliant !! Yes there is definitely 7 chick's...🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣
Why does mom not leave the bug in baby's mouth? Are they not taking it properly or something?
I guess it’s like any other baby that cant feed itself. Gotta feed them pieces at a time or they might choke.🤣🤣 it’s satisfying to watch
