Hi, mickp -

This is a photo of my Fire finch nest. There is at least one baby inside, should fledge any day now. I don't know if you can tell from the photo, but the dark area inside the nest is a baby. The feather off to the side was used to cover the entrance, so I couldn't see in. They have only uncovered it in the last 3-4 days.
