Ugly Babies

Two nests were built in our tree this year, one lot of young ones were eaten, but the others have been going pretty well. It may be due to the great camouflage; and also the fact that the birds basically look inedible.

This is the nest. It looks like a cotton wool ball wrapped in straw. If you look carefully you can make out a beak to the left of the top of the nest.

Another look at the nest, and on the left of the nest you should be able to make out a baby's beak, green eye and ear. A hole in the side of it's head!
