Two's A Crowd!

House Martin nest no. 2

The space is now very cramped and the entrance is a tight fit for both youngsters. One is more dominant and I am concerned he is getting more than his fair share of the food brought to the nest by the adult birds.

But the little one showed his face today and seemed a bit more vocal in yelling for food.

The parents are working tirelessly and will be exhausted.

Did you know they typically only live for two years?

No wonder.
