T.V. PROGRAMMES ALERT

[Willpar]

Never knew that. I like badgers, but not in my garden.

I watched the Hog programme and I thought it was very good. Brian may featured heavily as he has set up a hog sanctuary on his estate at his own expense.

[Willpar]

Must say I did like the programme. I did wonder where that sanctuary was. The soft release place was good as well. Very large.

I think they said his estate was in Hertfordshire.

I think 8 of the 11 eggs hatched in that nest I'm following. All looking good though

[Butterfly]

I thought its 8 too, but than I saw 9 hungry beaks

They are super cute, and all look healthy

[Kev]

Well spotted
The first downy feathers have come through super quick.

[Jacksparrow]

They all all doing well so far. Mum and Dad are doing them proud.

[Butterfly]

They are getting big , spilling out of the nest cup . I hope they move around and its not always the same one at the bottom

[Kev]

One was sitting in the bottom right corner at the weekend and I was worried it might have been a runt or a bit unwell but it seemed to rejoin the group. One or two look a few days older than the others. The yellow extra wide mouth bit seems to be much smaller on those as if they're developing quicker. I think they still have a way to go yet though (7-10 more days?). You can still see quite a lot of pink on them when they're preening and the wings are still a bit stumpy yet.
