Hi everyone! Well, the big news is that the blue tit fledglings have finally left our nest box. On Sunday evening we noticed the baby birds started to peep out and get more curious about the outside world. Take a look!
Yesterday morning when I woke up there was no chirping from the nest but then I found these two on the ground. You have to look closely because they are quite well camouflaged, they blend in with the background. This is a good way for them to hide from their predators the cats and the magpies.
I spent a lot of time watching out for cats yesterday. I did some research and I learned that it is very common for some of the babies (fledglings) to not be ready to fly for a couple of days after they leave the nest. I watched the parents swooping down to feed them every few minutes. And the good news is this morning they were flying up on to the clothes line. They are getting stronger and better at flying every hour. I will miss these cute little faces!
There is already lots to do in the timetable this week but if you would like an extra activity there is a lovely comprehension text where we read the text and answer the questions called The Nest in our comprehension book. It's on page 21 You'll probably need help reading some of the words.
