The chicks are much bigger now - almost filling the nest. Mme W continues to feed them a diet of insects mixed with nectar, providing the protein needed by the growing babies. This video shows her feeding them this saturday morning (mar 19), then as usual sitting on them. There was already quite a bit of south wind which has now further increased. A cold front is approaching from the north, always preceded by a humid south wind. I'm hoping the front will bring some rain - it has not rained since the storms in early january which wrecked Mme W's first nest.
