Birds at home

Hey there,

Me again - this is a quick post on some of the fledgeling and visitors to our garden at the moment.

I had been moaning about having no fledgelings (Babies) in the garden for about a week and then with in two days we were inundated with them.

1st came the House Sparrows - you really cant miss them - between the fluttering wings constantly begging for food to the HUGE yellow gapes. When they 1st appeared they were a little stupid bless - sitting on the bird feeders trying to peck the seeds through the plastic. But they have learned and are now within a week happily feeding from the feeders themselves.

You can just about make out the yellow gape - but aren't they all fluffy?

Then came the Blue tit - so cute and fluttery - there is also a pair of adults who are starting to make me feel tired with the toing and froing and toing and froing.

Peak a boo

Then the lads arrived the Starlings - the young starlings lack the spots of the adults and are more brown then black and are just about as silly as the House Sparrows. Unfortunately no pics of the Starlings yet but I'm working on it.

Keep an eye out in your Garden as there could be plenty happening right outside your window.
