Moved the first fledgling from a silly spot yesterday. Was out walking the dog and she stopped at what I thought was a bit of dead rabbit or something, turned out it was a fledgling (one of the thrush family). Fortunately Tai left it alone, she's good like that, but though the area is fairly quiet there are several other dog walkers that use the trails and not all of the dogs will be so kind to a fledgling on the path, so I picked it up and shifted it over to a bit of cover. It's probably the youngest I've ever moved, it still had lots of white feathers but was very responsive trying to scare me off I think, and could hop around fine though was far off from being able to fly. It was however painting a bit of a target around itself with it's poop where it was. I did look to see if there was a nest nearby, but couldn't see anything. Hopefully the parents will be taking good care of it and keeping it out of the way now!
I did get a couple of photos on my phone but can't find the cable to connect my phone to the laptop to download the photos!
