Robin Nest Feb/Mar 2009 Chicks 7 days old

Returning from a business trip week have been able to record the progress - 7 days old and feather pins starting to appear on the wings. Parents actually feeding the chicks the mini-mealworms I put out a number of days ago.

Nest History: This video series is taken from a nestbox webcam in my garden mounted a few weeks ago on a fence post replacing a box where this same robin had nested the previous two years (two broods last year). The camera is an infra-red CCD camera (black and white when dark, colour during daylight hours). After the mounting the box a few weeks earlier the female was already checking it out after 20 minutes and nested a week or two later (started 17feb2009).
