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.

There you have it, try mealworms instead of coffee next time, young Robins prefer them!!

I suspect that junior is perhaps getting a bit too old to hitch a ride on Mum's back. Ther's another one under there too.!! :-)
Also a young Moorhen from our wanders today.

Nice shots. It's getting a little late for humbugs I would've thought ... but may be not so close to the edge of the world up there
Some from the garden.

And the inevitable juvenile robins....
I'm not mooning, my tail is just a little tooooo short!
This one almost looks like a hybrid, crossed with a grey squirrel!

These were taken on the 18th Aug. I do wonder how many broods the Goldfinch around our area have had this year.
Not the best place to fall asleep
At least this one has a perch to grip.
It was a family of 4 with an adult who was feeding them all so I think these had not long fledged.

Lot to learn
About time I contributed to my own thread. I spotted three Pied Waggies on the roof of the house a few days ago. I got photos of two and maybe I got the third, but I'm not sure.
Nice to see the young growing up and coming back to visit
