In the video below, you can watch the adult blue tit feed its five young nestlings in the nest box that Derek Mooney's has in back garden. The interior of the nest box is designed to look like a thatched cottage and, by the looks of things, the family love it.

Elsewhere in Derek's garden, a fox was spotted sunbathing in the morning light. The fox is a regular visitor to the Mooney Goes Wild's host's home and likes nothing better than lie out on the granite paving. Check it out in the video below.
