Follow our Great Tit nest box camera at St Fagans!http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/2736/

Eight eggs were laid on the 27th of April and finally hatched yesterday. The chicks are so small you can only really see them when they open their mouths. Mr & Mrs Great Tit are now very busy feeding their family in the woodlands at St.Fagans.

Some superb views of the adults feeding the 4 chicks today.

 After last year's disappointment having 4 chicks this year is fantastic and they all look very healthy.

 They are growing rapidly so keep watching to see how they are doing.

The idea of making passports came from the Italians in Wales exhibition (which has just finished in Oriel 1). The exhibition contained lots of personal stories and we therefore decided to create passports on the artcart so that the children taking part could think about where they and their family have come from, where they have visited and where they woudl like to go. Once finished, the passports were stamped with a St Fagans: National History Museum stamp for offical reasons.....

I hope you enjoy the pictures below, apologies for the poor quality of my photography but the lighting is quite subdued in the gallery!

We started on the rafters yesterday. There will be 36 ash rafters in all. We will be creating ring beams and using a load of hazel rods for the purlins and sways. Come over to see the work develop this week.

Thanks to everyone who called in over the bank holiday weekend - it was great fun!

Thank you to everyone who came to the art cart over the bank holiday weekend to make passports. There was some fantastic work and i'll be putting up some more pictures as soon as possible!
