The most unexpected things (part three - the babies have hatched!)

After two weeks of waiting, I am very excited to let you know that the baby birds have hatched! They are bald and grey, with a beak much too big for their body. We think they are beautiful, and , even though all we have done is watch impatiently, we are very proud. They don't seem to mind at all that their home is in a peg basket. I managed to get these shots while the mother bird was away from the nest (let's face it, we all need a break sometime).
