30 April - Pair feeding their young

If the female is inside the box when the male arrives, the male hands over the food and the female delivers it.
Both birds often spend a while inspecting the chicks.  You can interpret this as bonding or checking the health of the chicks - if any of them die, they will be removed.  Let's hope that all nine survive - we think we can count nine but as you can see the view conceals some of the nest cup.
