Fledglings...


A family of 5 fledged Tree Sparrows hunted around our lawn this evening, catching unseen invertebrates. One juvvy was a bit more sinister and seemed intent in pulling out my sweet peas. Thats him on the right.

Its great to have them breeding in my nest boxes again. No doubt there'll be more of them to come over the summer as they have up to 3 broods in a season...

Lovely! We usually get a nest of Wrens in the eaves of our back porch but nothing yet. We never tire of watching these little ones.
