Dinner!

House Martin nest number 2.

We have four nests, one now empty after the single youngster fledged a few weeks ago.

Nest 2, as seen, has not one but two thriving chicks. Both doing well from what we can see. One possibly bigger and stronger than the other - difficult to see but I was pleased to get this shot of the adult bringing food to the nest.

We have sat and watched them throughout the day (too hot to do anything else). Mrs I has been viewing through the binoculars and is suitably enthralled.

Nest 3 has at least one chick but possibly more.

Nest four is the Dolly Parton prefab.

. There is a lot of activity around Dolly Parton but we are not quite sure yet what is happening. Hopefully another chick or two, we will see.

But all in all it is getting very exciting and I hope to bring more news and blips shortly.
