I thought I had best start a thread for these. All of a sudden there are baby birds everywhere.
Blue Tits flitting around the oak tree with their tiny 'squeak'.
Baby House Sparrows behaving themselves wonderfully!
The icing on the cake is the Great Spotted Woodpecker, she brought her little boy today! I guess I already mentioned, it was dull again!
Baby Birds galore!
That is a cool looking bird (the bottom pix)!
Today I was in the garden with camera in hand, one of the baby Blue Tits was on top of the pergola waiting for parent to feed it nuts. I saw it hovering in front of the nut silo, this one was impatient and wanted to feed itself but not yet big enough! I could hear others nearby, not so bold as this one.
The top of the head will turn blue later.
So cute! Great shots of the little ones Wallaby.
I should have some baby Goldfinches in my garden soon too. There is a nest a couple of feet from the top of my Ceanothus, which is at least 10 feet tall. I noticed it last year after they had finished nesting, I felt sure it was a Goldfinche's nest.
I looked at it not long ago and saw it was still in good condition. There was a couple of dead stems hanging down around the nest which I decided to leave 'just in case'. I have seen a Goldfinch in the Acacia tree behind it often, and lately the female had been sitting on my Nectarine tree which doesn't make nectarines.
Today I saw a Goldfinch fly down to near the nest, which is in the 'V' at the bottom of the pic..
Congratulations on all the babies Janet! Your joy is contagious :-)
Your captions for the House Sparrow feeding are wonderful! heehee
Wonderful pics Janet! The babies are so cute!
Your pictures and stories are great.
I have noticed some full sized fledling cardinals eating on their own yesterday. (they have black beaks and look a little different than the females)
The red belly woodpeckers that have been hogging at the feeders are now working to feed two big babies. Sure is fun to see all the kids coming in.
Great shots, Wallaby. Love the commentary from the bubs. Do they speak with an English accent?
The woodpecker feet intrigue me. Do they have two front and two aft, or do they tend to splay according to what they are attached to?
