Its Twins!! - or possibly triplets.

 On Thursday morning we noticed that Mother blackbird wasn't there, and on peaking in there were these quivering bags of skin.

We think there are two of them lying side by side. They are so vulnerable, but I am still puzzling how all of this fitted into the pale blue speckled shells. The only recognisable thing is a huge orange beak which surely stretched the length of the shell..

Now it is Sunday and the naked little bodies seem to be getting some dark fluff.


Its hard to tell how many are in here now, or whether the wings are spread out a bit. Some parts may just be the yolk sack. There appear to be two dark eye structures too.
