Bigfield Blackbirds

The eggs a few weeks ago



The birds last week

A couple of weeks ago, we discovered some small, blue eggs, at the back of the big field. Quite regularly, we noticed a blackbird (mother) flying over to the nest every so often. So, in order to find out what was so interesting, we stedily climbed up the tree, making sure not to disturb whatever was up there, and took some pictures. Slowly, over three weeks, we found that the eggs had hatched. The second photo is of the birds when they have hatched.
Did you know that a blackbird grows up in only 3 weeks?
