Pied flycatcher breeding success!

Looks like we're on course to fledge 13 pied flycatcher youngsters from two nest boxes!  Six fledged within the last few days, and these seven (pictured below) are due to leave the nest any day now.  The warm, dry spring has undoubtedly helped; now we need a bit of rain to keep the vegetation perky and the insects abundant for the new fledglings of all species.
