The young are now a few days old. I’m posting this photo because it was one of the few shots with two adults in the nestbox.
There won’t be space for two adults before the end of the story.

Feeding the young, part two.
As there will be an unknown number of feeding the young posts I decided to number them rather than trying to come up with different titles for each one.
In this photo one of the adults is feeding a green caterpillar to the young.
Here the young are a few days old. I can now see 9 young, there will be more.
Feeding the young.
The eggs are hatched, the adults are going to be very busy for the next few weeks.
The photo shows one of the adults feeding the recently hatched young. I can see five young in this photo. That number will increase.
The eggs are hatching.
The eggs are hatching. Here one of the adults is removing a large piece of egg shell from the nest. It will be dropped some distance from the nestbox as the birds don’t want potential predators knowing where the nest is.
Raindrops.
Raindrops on a recently waxed car roof.
The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge is Liquid.
An old photo, taken when I was studying photography in the late 1970s.
Patterns in nature.
This week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge is Natural Patterns.
First, some Cotoneaster berries. They sort of remind me of a fish skeleton.
Next, some Bracken fronds. Another reminder of a fish skeleton maybe.
And finally, hoarfrost rimmed Privet leaves.
Incubation continues.
The male Eurasian Blue Tit feeding the female during incubation. The female does leave the nestbox during the day but never for long.
In a few days the activity in the nestbox is going to increase dramatically.
