Photos from Friday, six of the seven Blue Tit eggs have clearly hatched.
I'm not sure if the last egg hatched or not - I've not seen a clear image of seven mouths but in a couple of shots like the last ones above, there could be a seventh chick which happened to have its beak closed? We shall see..
Using the motion software, my garden based Raspberry Pi is still recording tens of thousands of images a day recorded - not only does this cause trouble filling up the Raspberry Pi's SD card, browsing the folder for each day makes my desktop struggle with the thumbnail images!
