Birdbox 2008 Page 3 Chicks
		Since 2nd May, all records of the bird box have been as video clips. See the video page!

				Fri 2 May Collecting a mealworm from the feeder....
				.... and delivering it to one of the open beaks.

				Thu 1 May The chicks as seen through the hole.
				As has been done before, an 'under your beak' mealworm feeder was fixed in place in the morning and within a few minutes, the birds were using it. I have previously tried leaving the worms on a nearby bird table, but it takes the birds a long time to realise that they are there! Feeding video from inside the birdbox, 4.1Mb, WMV format

				Wed 30 April There appear to be only three eggs left now (out of 11).
				Feeding the chicks. The chicks are still not visible from the side camera, but when they are, video will be included, as last year.

				Tue 29 April The male brings in a feed on a very wet day!

				Mon 28 April
				More chicks have now hatched.

				Sun 27 April The male bird arrives with a feed.
				Some chicks - probably four - have now hatched (below). The male takes his turn in feeding them.
