We had a baby count for the first time and there are 7+6+5 = 18. Two have died that we have seen. One got out the nest box in the night and was dead by morning, the other appeared to have been strangled with a bit of sheeps wool.
Here is mum looking in and checking what I am up to.
This is them sleeping the next day, apparently they survived the ordeal. There was a lot of screaming when the needle went in. I think they try to scare of predators like that.
They need redoing in 6 weeks. Fingers crossed they all live that long. They are very fragile little things.
