I usually start this thread by cheating and having a pic of a baby Feral Pigeon that I have rescued. Not this year. Today, the first of the Little, Little HTR's arrived in the garden, right on schedule. It is currently in the flowering currant. Little HTR has been taking dozens of waxies to the nest and this morning I noticed him going via the flowering currant. I just had a little look and saw a fledgling in there.

It was amazing to watch it deal with the snail and then a little later it turned up on the back lawn.
And as I type this its just landed under the feeders.
This one like the fat nibbles
Lot to learn

I'll bet. I watched a house sparrow a few years back have a go at a snail on our patio.
This year, we're not seeing the juvenile house sparrows quite the same as last year, but, they are around....
Another damp, windy and grey day yesterday so no inclination to go outside and carry on with any number of numerous jobs waiting in the garden. So I decided to download lots of pictures from previous week and have the guillotine ready to chop most of them to the trash bin.
I'd just downloaded and put the card straight back in the camera, (just in case) and these arrived in the garden. We then spent the next 90+mins rushing from lounge, dining, kitchen & utility windows following them about the garden. Unfortunately all taken through windows, could not risk opening patio doors. So excited another first for our garden, we've had GSW visit before but never with juveniles and I don't recall ever having seen young any where else either.
MrsT captured this one, the only shot we managed with all 3 birds in...grrr
Meadow Pipit.
