This little chap took what we think was his first flight from the trees, and landed on the lawn. He didn't seem to know what to do next, but after about a quarter of an hour, he flew away, hopefully back to his parents.
"Bill Size: Juvenile birds often have bills that seem proportionally too large for their head. This is because their heads have not fully grown and their feathers are not yet covering the edges of the bill, making it seem larger."

A lovely close-up of this juvenile bird.
He does look a little puzzled, Kits.
I bet he's trying to remember what Chapter Two
said in his 'A Beginner's Guide to Flight' manual.
A lovely photo. Top marks.
