It has been a very good year for wild birds, at least it has in our garden. Earlier on the birds were very busy flying around and collecting leaves and twigs for their nests. Now their efforts have paid off and our garden is filled with the sound of baby birds squawking and crying to their parents for food.
The starlings have done particularly well and every day we have visits from a large starling family with all their baby chicks at different sizes of development. They are so funny to watch as they strut around the garden looking for food.
Here the adult is teaching a young starling how to look for food.
