Same here with the young ones...........this morning has been manic.......baby Jackdaws (no Pics yet), baby Siskins, Great Tits, House & Tree Sparrows, Robins and so on..............one of the cats brought in a bird for me this morning even though he wears a collar with a big bell on...........he deposited the little one on the bedroom carpet.............I shot out of bed and picked up the bird......it was in shock but still breathing...........just 10 minutes ago the baby was fully recovered and flew off to live another day............it took over 4.5 hrs to recover but I was so pleased when I watched it fly back to the trees.......... Grin

It's the first time this year that cat has brought me a gift..............I told him no more thank you........... Grin

Oh and we have the Starlings again this morning.............as noisy as ever............. Grin

Wonderfully endearing shot

I was just watching three baby swallows on a fence being fed by their busy parents from 3 meters away; such a treat

Love the angle of the leg, that's attitude. Much more entertaining than your standard stuffed-specimen-on-a-stick shot.

Now how in the world would that little beak get one of those big peanuts in it's mouth! Very cute shot of the messy little fella......Sandy

Maybe not technically perfect, but it sure is better than no photo at all! Wink

And this is wonderful, Chris, of this little chap hanging in there

You certainly have plenty of visitors to your garden

You're right. It's a terrible photo. Take it down immediately or I will never speak to you again.

I think it's an excellent grab, Chris, 'cos to me it's what photography is all about --- grabbing the moment. And you've grabbed it well! Just like that little fella has done with his ginormous lunch box...lol

And he's SO cute with that fluffy dishevelled look Grin

I looked like that when I emerged gingerly from under the duvet this morning. Sad

I'll never drink that much again...until the next time. Sad

Great grab shot, Chris.

Actually, this is very sweet. As baby blue tits go, this one isn't going to win any prizes in the 'looks' department, but that just makes him all the more appealing.

Regards.

Your garden sound a hive of activity. A few sparrows and a pair of Blackbirds and a hedgehog leaving calling cards on our patio. Wink

What a shot Chris
a real scruff on the attack for a food hit!
You can lose hours watching them
then even more trying to get a shot!! Grin

I would willingly shoot all Jackdaws. They visit my garden in great numbers, eat all the fat balls then start on the nuts. I just cannot afford it any longer. That's a cute little one which you have photographed so well Chris.

This is so cute - hate that word but it is! My garden is very busy too - we have a bottle feeder from which the little birds throw seed down to be eaten by the bigger birds. We get quite a few jackdaws - noisy!!!
