I normally have a quick stumble around the garden after work: dead-heading, watering or generally just fidgeting about and admiring the developing garden – and yesterday, whilst momma was away, I had a little peer into the nest too…and saw eggshell!
Today, when I did the same…I saw beak!
I am being very subtle and discreet as I’m not wanting to scare their blackbird parents away – although I’m hoping that they are used to me wandering around by now. I’ll see if I can take another sneeky shot in a couple of days as both mother & father are now on the scene, taking it in turns to feed and hunt.
Isn’t nature wonderful! ;-)
Al, nature is wondrous!!! …but having Misty peer over the side of the nest is just wrong:)hehehehe
Oh my goodness, that’s SO EXCITING! It’ll be fun watching them grow and change, too.
To Trishia: good one! hahaha
Oh gosh, that is so wonderful – I hope the parent birds get used to you and perhaps even the little ones. I always think it’s such an honour when the birds feel safe enough to build a nest in our garden.
Wow!! I hope you do get to take some more photos – hopefully they’ll get a few more feathers soon ;-)
Bless ‘em! What a great photo – even though only a mother could love those looks. Bring on the feathers!
Just come across u by complete accident! LOVE your blog!!

I have watched the eagles hatch and grow at Decorah, Iowa – so amazing to watch the growth. Yes, nature is wonderful :) A fabulous shot!
Wow, what vulnerable looking little creatures. I hope they’re going to do well.X
