A few days ago, coming out of the back room from the kitchen I noticed that the red-start had thrown out a tiny broken egg shell.
I was quite excited hoping that the birds would let me have a quick look. But, as both the male and female guard their nest, I am reluctant to disturb them too much.
Three days later, I did get my chance, as I saw the female returned with a caterpillar and then a few minutes later she left the nest, So I rushed to have a look. All five babies must have thought their mummy is back
