Last year, Monkey cheese started the thread off for 2020, the link is here:
https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/all-creatures/207284/the-young-of-2020
As 2021 is progressing, and there are young out there, I couldn't see 2021 thread, so I hope MC or anyone else doesn't mind, I'll start the 2021 thread. if there is one already, please correct me and place the link in a reply.

Wilma !! Still miss her to this day although I doubt she would still be around now, came in the garden as a juvenile and in successive years she had broods, 4 offspring which she brought back in the garden with her one day !

I guess no dippers...
Lovely photo though, dippers or not.
A very sad mess myxomatosis, but an interesting story nonetheless.
The young here are growing up, fast, but many are still requiring mum and dad to feed them, or are they just being plain lazy and enjoying the attention.... Whatever, more garden photo opportunities on a rare sunny morning, before yet more cloud and showers....
When I see youngsters demanding food, I always think of the following image....
So here goes....
Poor old dad....
What were those words again?
"I'm hungry dad, really I am...."
Stuffed!
And finally, some dad time.....
Talking about the young spadgers, I had one taken this morning by the male sprawk and then just when I was thinking the garden was still quiet I caught sight of the female sprawk at the top of the garden with a Greenfinch. I know they have to feed but o'h it does pull the heart strings.
