Robins family babies

It is most definitely Spring in our family.

Firstly we had a robin who decided (quite wisely) to make a nest in Katie's (luckily old) cycle helmet that was hung up in our side shed. The girls were very good every time they went in their as to not disturb the mother or babies. They have now grown and fled the nest which has been to school for show & tell !!

Lucy had a butterfly set for her birthday so finally remembered to send off for the caterpillar larva. They have now gone from big caterpillars to chrisalides which we have moved from the pots into the butterfly net and await the arrival of some lovely butterflies.




And finally the worst news of the lot. The snails have produced eggs !! We have removed them to another pot and wait to see if they hatch. Let's hope they don't all as we had two batchs and they could be a couple of hundred !! Anyone want a snail !!
