Gangland
A load of young Starlings flocking together plotting their next raid on my window feeder!! This was most of the ringleaders, there were a few more on the other gable end, on the aerial and in the tree pretending not to be involved in the decision! TTTW- delia todd

And then....
..... there were SIX! I knew there were more but it was so difficult to count them as they were back and fro so quickly. I think I've seen more but again difficult. This is the most I've got in one picture. TTTW- delia todd

And then there were four
There was a real Blue Tit feste going on at that time, with the youngsters having been brought to the garden from the nest. Such a delight they were. TTTW- delia todd

True Blue
This beauty decided to have his back to me, whether he had a seed to chew on I'm not sure. That blue was stunning, maybe it was the way the light was on him doing that? TTTW- delia todd

Insecure
I think this is the only young Blackbird I've seen this summer. Some species really seemed to suffer with the poor weather during June. Probably not too long out of the nest. TTTW- delia todd

Frazzled Dad
Ok I'm guessing it's dad, no woman would appear in public in such a mess!!! However, he seems to have managed to rear about 5 youngsters, as they all arrived at the same time. I was actually beginning to despair of seeing any as the weather had been so cold and wet it seemed the majority of...- delia todd

On dry land
I'd not seen any gulls around for a bit, so guess they were off somewhere else to breed. This guy seemed to remember where there was usually some food available and came for a tuck in. TTTW- delia todd

Toddler tantrum
The fledgling Blue Tits were brought straight to my window feeders when they left the nest. So decided it was 'their' territory. It's been difficult to count them, but there's generally 5 and on odd occasions I've had about 10 I think. This one looks really angry about something LOL TTTW...- delia todd

Gotcha
Some of you will know the difficulties I have trying to get pictures of a Great Tit at the window feeders. They're usually in and out so quickly but this one seemed to really savour the half coconut filled with fat and seeds. TTTW- delia todd

Supervising
I think she was checking out the behaviour of the young sparrows. Though there don't seem to have been so many of them this year. Up on top of the beech hedge, which had had a real short back and sides (and top too) last year. TTTW- delia todd

Feeder fights
By now I had so many Starlings in the garden after a whole shed-load of youngsters had spilled out from their nests. Oh the noisy squabbles that produced over the food. It got to the stage where they'd empty the fatball feeder within a couple of hours, as well as two coconut shells of filled...- delia todd

I don't often notice...
....the pretty pink tinge to the upper breast area. Must have just caught this one in the right light and the right angle. I've also noticed that the woodies are mostly keeping away during the day and coming to the pole feeder in the evening. Not sure what caused this change of behaviour...- delia todd

Taking a rest
The Starlings were really busy collecting food to take to the nests, they couldn't gobble up the meal worms quickly enough. Got this one taking a break on the beech hedge. TTTW- delia todd

At last
The very end of May and at last some babies start to appear. Well.... one is a start. With the cold, wet weather throughout May, it delayed nesting quite drastically. Here's a proud dad giving his new hungry bairn a feed. TTTW- delia todd

The Siskins were becoming very welcome regular visitors. This is the male at the top of the bank where my pole feeder is, you can get a bit of an idea of how steep it is in this shot. TTTW- delia todd

I can't see that branch at the moment as it's hidden by beech leaves. Makes a good survey point though, doesn't it. TTTW- delia todd

It's not often I get to see a bird with a very full crop. Surely he can't stuff much more in there can he? TTTW- delia todd

Droopy wing
It seems ages since I last showed you a garden Blackbird. What happened to this guys wing I've no idea, unless a cat got to him. I can't remember seeing him since so, hopefully it's better now, or maybe sadly he's departed. TTTW- delia todd
