Fledglings in the Garden (1 Viewer)

[Original PaulE]

Our garden is getting regular visits from, young Blackbirds, a Robin and a Dunnock, as well as Blue Tits and the usual Starlings and Sparrows, reward for leaving our Garden to go wild!! Lots of insects with up to 10 Gatekeeper Butterflies, we also have a Frog in the pond although the multitude of Tadpoles from earlier in the year are still stubbornly refusing to grow legs and I'm pretty sure the Frog has eaten a few as well!!!

I’ve had a lot of young Blue Tits at my feeders.

Yeah ours is a bit weird, we had 3 regular Blue Tits coming in all winter, who were visiting the feeders constantly earlier in the Spring, presumably provisioning a nest, Now we have three at least two of which seem to be youngsters, so not sure where the other adults have gone!!!

I’ve had a lot of young Blue Tits at my feeders.

You are a lucky one. I would love to have a few Blue Tits (Cyanistes Caeruleus) in my garden , everyday. Just to feed them seeds , worms and fruit.
Observe them a little and then they will fly away.

Too bad that they only appear in May in my region and they fly away once you approach.

I saw a juvenile Green Woodpecker this morning. The grey head confused me a bit, and the fact that it was on the ground, seemingly eating insects between the grass.

Wouldn't mind one of them in the Garden, plenty of Ants, but don't think the area of grass is big enough for them to land. Great Spotted woodpecker would be nice as well to be honest, though we had a Greenfinch on the feeder this morning which made a change, first one for ages!!
