Goldcrest chicks

[turbotoes]

I was playing with the kittens at the top of the back garden when I heard cheeping noises coming from the 'compost' area behind our garden fence, these little guys were out on a branch yelling for Ma and Pa to get their fingers out.... I grabbed my camera from the house (sure they would have gone to cover by the time I got back ) crept thru the gate and scuttled along the fence to a position out of view of incoming parents and grabbed a few shots. I only stayed a few minutes and as I got back into the garden Mum or Dad came down to feed them.

Thanks guys, they are still about today, can hear them but they are much deeper in the scrub (safer for them)
