Hi All
My Strawberries have just fledged 6 young. Is this unusual as normally I only get ones and twos, or are they known for large clutches. I still can't work out how they managed to fit 6 in the nest! I have great fun watching Mum and Dad trying to get them all back in the nest everynight.

Wow, great news. Not sure if 6 is normal, but I hope it is as I've just bought my first pair of strawberries.

They usually lay 4 to 7 eggs, for them to fledge 6 is excellent congrats :thumbup: :thumbup:
