A Wonder-full Time

Caroline Worth

Our children gave me a bird-box camera for my birthday (with images beamed to all our mobile phones). So, we have watched a female blue tit make a nest in the bottom of the bird-box, lay 11 eggs, and incubate them for 3 weeks. Seven of the eggs hatched and the babies developed from tiny red foetus-like blobs to being able to fledge in only 3 weeks, with endless feeding from both parents. It has been fascinating to watch and a truly life-enhancing experience.
