Garden Wildlife UK

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.

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

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

They are super cute, and all look healthy

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

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

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

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.
