About The Authors

Since meeting in early 1999 Catherine and Mark have progressively been exploring the world via land and water, maximising weekends and holidays to get off the beaten track. Over the years they have progressed from hike tent to camper trailer to caravan and motorhome, and Tassie the Burmese cat joins them on the adventure.

And just like that… one of the four babies died 😪… and the remaining three fledged…. Until next year. #bluetit nest over and out #spring #greenfeatherscamera #chicksofinstagram

The 4 baby blues are growing quickly and can barely fit in the nest well that just a couple of weeks ago swamped their naked bodies. They’re starting to practice some wing flaps and more grooming. Very cute still! #somerset #greenfeatherscamera #spring #bluetit #chicksofinstagram

Well the 4 baby blues are now 2 weeks old, their eyes are open and they are growing nicely. Betty and Bruce are still worn ragged feeding them, but doing a great job #somerset #greenfeatherscamera #spring #bluetit #chicksofinstagram

Happy International Airway Stenosis Day! And May the 4th be with you! It is our opportunity to raise awareness of a rather nasty, frequently misdiagnosed disease, and hopefully find help for more people. Please share where possible! #airwaystenosis #idiopathicsubglotticstenosis #breathe #isitreallyasthma

Day 6 for the baby blues, and Betty and Bruce barely have a moment to themselves. The blue 4 are starting to get their downy feathers and look a little less pink. #somerset #greenfeatherscamera #spring #bluetit #bluetits

Day 4 for the baby blues, and they’re gradually

Day 4 for the baby blues, and they’re gradually plumping up. As you can see there are only 4 chicks, the 5th one hatched overnight on day 2 but didn’t survive to the next day. Betty flew out with it yesterday morning, and I’m sure she had a respectful ceremony.

It’s all on today! Three baby blues hatched, two

It’s all on today! Three baby blues hatched, two to go…

Ah bless Betty and Bruce - we have two hatchlings

Ah bless Betty and Bruce - we have two hatchlings this morning - pink and naked with big round Os for mouths, the work has commenced - supplies of caterpillars appear good so far. Fingers are crossed for this clutch to be successful #somerset #greenfeatherscamera #spring #bluetit #eggsofinstagram

Betty and Bruce have eggs on their mind this sunny #Easter morning, and Bruce is doing a sterling job of keeping his partner well fed today…I have a good feeling about this clutch… #somerset #greenfeatherscamera #spring #bluetit #eggsofinstagram

Henry was enjoying a fine evening’s dining when Humphrey again came in to fight and hoover up the #hedgehog biscuits…#beatit #somerset #spring #greenfeatherscamera

Well it looks like Betty and Bruce has stopped at 5 eggs, perhaps sensibly after last year’s sad events where they lost all 7 chicks to starvation :-( Betty will spend the next 11-14 days hatching these little (white with red speckles) eggs, with Bruce regularly bringing her snacks to keep her sustained. #somerset #greenfeatherscamera #spring #bluetit #bluetits #eggsofinstagram

Cannot beat being in the garden when the weather is like this. Sunniest March since 1910, and April has been spectacular too! #somerset #spring #sunshine

What are we doing here?
