"Spudgies" family album

Grey day here but more House Sparrow action ……….  

Fledglings were showing their independence feeding on the ground;  (may be Mum at the front with a mealie in her bill)  live worms on offer but rather opting for the mealworm suet

but there's always one who still wants to be fed by Mum    ! 

one in the fruit bowl bird bath  !!    having a drink.

One of the lovely female adults 

Wheeeeeeee !

more mealies for the next brood nestlings 

Another lovely set Hazel, looks like ours have retreated back to the nest box.

Looks like they have made themselves quite at home in the courtyard!!

Looks like the funny moustache gang in the first photo:-)

Thanks again folks,    another brood fledged today by the looks of things and numbers picking up !    So, camera had to come out seeing as it was a nice blue sky.

the mischievous two   !!

one chilled out Mr Spudgie......   he must be one of the first that watches for me to chuck out the live mealies and he's fearless of me ! 

was very hot everywhere today and Mr Spudgie was ventilating  ! 

back to the nest in the eaves ………...

whereas this baby just helps itself  !

First time I've seen a Sparra-bush full of new buds     lol 

and Dad keeping his eye on them …..

Mrs Spudgie chilling out after the midday feed  ! 

and these last pics are my favourite pics of the day - in sequence …...

Mrs Sparrow looking beautiful …………..

along comes Mr Sparrow ……….       "Hello Darling"      !!  

Mrs Sparrow ………"Wanna give me a kiss then ?  "   ……   !!!

"Ok then ..……………  maybe next time "     !!      

Lovely spudgies and very entertaining Hazel. I think mines have found somewhere else to eat as Starlings have totally taken over. By 12.30 today I put all the feeders away as the noise was so intense lol and with it being a lovely day...it was the right thing to do ...they had already been fed plenty and had several splashes in the pond!

You have your own sparra bush now to enjoy Hazy, great fun and fab photos. I saw and took a few pics too but where does the time go, I will have to post tomorrow.

Certainly not camera shy, are they? Lovely selection of pics

Fab set Hazel.... told you you weren't too busy 

Lovely photos, they just love to be in on the action.

I think ours are starting to show their faces, the feeders are getting lots of sparrow visits.
