No sooner do I get two new cats than I realise that my bird box is regularly being visited by parents carrying food.

Desperate measures were used to make sure that the cats couldn’t climb up the tree, which is what they were trying to do.

Cardboard defences in place and we watched in awe of the two little birds, endlessly toing and froing with creepy crawlies.

Eventually a little beak was seen looking out to the big wide world.

Two days after the video was taken it had fledged. What a wonderful sight.
