  5. And here's some more

    And here's some more

    The Starling nests emptied and they descend on my garden in their droves! Here's two of them waiting hungrily for an adult to come with some food. You may be able to judge just how steep that slope is that they're on. My new pole feeder is just to the right of them. TTTW

  8. First of the fledglings

    Mid may and here were the first fledglings I'd seen so far. Two little House Sparrows waiting patiently. The adults were on the ground below getting seeds that I'd thrown out. TTTW
  9. This is what you want

    This is what you want

    So now go and get your own! Looks like mum is showing the bairn what it is that he needs to find, doesn't it. I think that's one of the pink nibble thingy's, it doesn't look like a grape. The young Blue Tits had fledged and there seems to be still a few around, as I had 4 at the window feeder...

  13. Starling Fledglings

    Starling Fledglings

    First youngster showed up yesterday... five days earlier than last year. Not great light, but showing what they do as soon as they arrive: head for the bird baths or a muddy puddle. Which means I'm on Cat-watch until the fledglings are able to fly when wet (There was nine hiding huddled-up...
  14. The first fledgling

    The first fledgling

    Not a good picture, sorry. I've lightened it the best I could. It was not a very nice day, the light was awful and he was in a dark place anyway..... but it was my first fledging of the season, so I had to record it. TTTW

    I'm a bit concerned about these this year - the parents usually feed 2 or more youngsters, but I've only seen single fledglings this year. Through the double glazing as usual Camera Maker: SONY Camera Model: SLT-A58 Lens: 75-300mm F4.5-5.6 Image Date: 2017-05-05 14:20:31 (no TZ) Focal Length...
