Chicks!

Well we are the proud foster parents of a baby chick, we incubated 4 eggs, sadly 3 of them did not hatch but the one who did is alert and lively! It hatched yesterday and below is a photo of it at roughly one day old. Talking of chicks also last night we were sitting watching telly when there was a bang on the window outside when we looked there was a chaffinch fledgling on the floor stunned. We took it in overnight and it couldn't stand so thought we would let it rest overnight and see how it was in the morning. Fortunatly it had picked up and when we let it out this morning it flew off and landed in a tree so hopefully we gave it a second chance and it will have learnt not to fly into a window again!
