She's doing well... interesting watching the new traps develop. Had to catch flies for her though, she isn't alluring enough apparently. She only needs about 1 a month.

That was sad - the poor mother didn't know what to do.
Yes, it was the buzzard chick I was referring too - so sad.
Great news about the great tits though. Things have calmed down with the jackdaws too, thank goodness.
That was amazing - live fledging.
Indeed. Hope the jackdaw intruders continue to lay off the chicks

It happens a fair bit on Springwatch Fluffy 
Jackdaws are back to their tricks. Just as well the chicks are able to hold their own now.
Aye hopefully they'll make it.
That weeny little firecrest - less weight than a 20p and it flies from Africa *respect*
Amazing isn't it?
I really wish they wouldn't give us so many close ups of bugs. I don't cope well with that. 
Aye the dragonfly larvae with the shooting out mouth was like Alien 
Those sextant beetles were a bit grim too. I'd rather not know.
Mind you, you have a Venus Fly trap! 
Hows it surviving on its one fly a month?
It's had two this month! The greedy guts!
I enjoy seeing the progress of new traps.

Oh, I know. Doesn't make it any the less sad though. 
Watching the Red Kites now.
Two flies, theyre doing well 
do the traps open and shut very often?
I was watching Iolo the Red Kites too
Those water rail chicks are so cute. They remind me of Rod Hull's Emu for some reason
Flies seem to be wary of her. She's closed traps twice, but manually.... we've caught the flies for her.
Red Kites were brilliant. I could listen to Iolo talk forever.
They reminded me of Kevin's chicks from Up. The cuteness.
Love how you call the Venus Flytrap "her"
Iolo is great. He's done a lot of countryside programmes for BBC2 Wales and S4C. On S4C he used to wear the shortest denim shorts ever Couldn't understand a word it but I watched it anyway.
Oh... I anthropomorphise everything.
Ooh... We have S4C... I must keep an eye out for repeats, these shorts sound... interesting... *ahem* 
Jezza was on QI tonight.. H for Health and Safety. He loves that 
I'll have to Iplayer that tomorrow. Angry Jezza is fun.
Anyone been keeping an eye on the web-cams?
The Willow warbler chicks are gorgeous!
The jackdaw chicks look very big -until one of the parents pops in.
One chick was flapping its wings, while the other was still looking to be fed. So they might fledge at different times.
