13th July 2010, Tuesday

On 7th July I found this Skylark nest with 4 eggs. Today there were 4 chicks filling the nest and pretending to be dried up grass - an excellent camouflage.

The click of the camera made one chick beg for food with its bright orange gape, so I quickly left them in their fight for survival.
