  1. Baby at the feeder

    Baby at the feeder

    Well he does seem to be getting independent, even though he's still got a very young looking gape! It's lovely to see so many young House Sparrows coming through. TTTW
  2. A vandal

    A vandal

    ... though behaving just now, he's not come mob-handed LOL What a mess they make of my window and the feeders when they all arrive!!!
  3. 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...
  4. What a piggy

    What a piggy

    A female grape thief now... can you see she's got TWO!!! I tried the birds with green grapes, but they didn't seem to like them as much as the red ones! TTTW
  5. Glad he doesn't mind

    Glad he doesn't mind

    Sorry about the dirty window; those pesky Starlings make such a mess. This was half an hour after washing the window would you believe!!! My lovely Coal Tit didn't seem to notice, fortunately, as I hadn't seen one for a while. I think they breed somewhere else, only making occasional visits...
  6. Grab and run

    Grab and run

    .... which is why there's a lot of movement in this - he grabbed a bit of grape, then ran across the roof.... next pic was half a tail!!! The birds do like their grapes! TTTW
  7. Silver haired

    Silver haired

    .... well sort of LOL... bit like my brother, but don't tell him I said that! He came in pretty smartly for his breakfast.
  8. Whispering sweet .....

    Whispering sweet .....

    .... nothings in her ear. Isn't that cute now? I've not often caught them 'billing and cooing' LOL TTTW
  9. Mum's busy

    Mum's busy

    .... or is it Dad? My sequence of pictures showed the adult flying up the fence to the hungry mouth above. Loads more lined up there though so it'll be a non-stop job for a while I reckon LOL TTTW
  10. Sunbathing

    Sunbathing

    We had some nice warm days and I was hoping to spot a youngster sunbathing (rarely see adults doing it). So this young Starling didn't disappoint... they love doing it on the roof. TTTW
  11. Hungry

    Hungry

    .... aren't they ever LOL! Starlings had started to fledge.... so prepare for the vandalism! TTTW
  12. My two biggies

    My two biggies

    ... I can't believe these both came in and settled down to feeding together!! There must be something in the water LOL TTTW
  13. Empty nest

    Empty nest

    ... at least I guess so, these appear to be all recently fledged! Someone's going to be busy feeding them, aren't they LOL
  14. Look no head

    Look no head

    .... but there's some pretty May blossom instead! Nearly deleted this but thought it amusing enough for Saturday Fun. TTTW
  15. Elusive

    Elusive

    I don't seem to see these too often and this was the only picture I got of them that day. One click and he was off. Just happened to notice him sitting on the fence when I was in the kitchen. TTTW
  16. All gone?

    All gone?

    Think he may be wondering if there's more elsewhere on the ground! It was still quite early, but I guess the vandals had come in and swept everything up! TTTW
  17. First Fledgling

    First Fledgling

    This was the first fledgling I saw in the garden this year.... a sweet wee sparrow. TTTW
  18. Pretty in green

    Pretty in green

    Beech seems to be quite late in coming into leaf I think. This wee lady was sitting on one of the stems that had escaped the autumn cut backs!!! TTTW
  19. Sheltering

    Sheltering

    A rather wet day at home and I spotted this House Sparrow sheltering in a rather leafless part of the beech hedge. The hedge belongs to a neighbouring property and he'd really gone to town on it in the autumn, cutting back into some old wood in parts, meaning there were no buds to form leaves...
  20. Here you are

    Here you are

    It looks like he's offering his nibble to someone but he wasn't. He timed his arrival for just after I'd put the feed out, think his internal clock works better than the Wood Pigeon's LOL TTTW
  21. Woodie on the roof

    Woodie on the roof

    Title says it all really. Mr Wood Pigeon came down to see if their breakfast had been put out yet.... he was just a few minutes early though. Posting early this morning as off for a hospital checkup. I'll try and catch up later. TTTW
  22. White bits

    White bits

    Think this was the only time I saw this Jackdaw in the garden, he had lots of white bits on him - both shoulders and the vent area too. Wonder where he went?
  23. Spring cleaning

    Spring cleaning

    This Dunnock, seems to be having a good clear out of the moss that had gathered under the overhang! It rather made me smile when I opened this image, so hope it amuses you too.
  24. Gleaming

    Gleaming

    Back at home the Starlings were developing their summer plumage, and the light caught this one so nicely. Down below my window this one, so a bit of leaning out required. I just wish they'd teach their youngsters some table manners before they leave the nest!;)
  25. Exit left

    Exit left

    Actually I lied yesterday.... this was the only other picture I got of the Dunnock. So this unco-operative guy for Saturday Fun today. I'm guessing the white blob is a stray white feather, really can't think what else it would be LOL. TTTW
