There are six, yes six active Violet-green nesting boxes this year.  That's double what I had last year.

Several are poking their heads out - eager for the next fly-by meal.

The yellow mouth is typical for young birds - scientists think it helps the parents 'target' the meals.

#1

See the baby bird?

This nesting box is exciting as it is an east-facing box behind the shop/garage and has not been occupied before.

#2

Meal delivery

#3

#4

The hole used to have a perch - I remove them as they can make it easier for predation.

#5

Lots of chirping going on. 

#6

Same as #5 - lots of chirping and meal deliveries.

I will keep watching - fledging is probably not far off now.
