This morning I spent some time watching adult Great Tits feeding a brood of three or four fledglings. I wonder if this is a second hatching or a pair who left things late in getting started.
They were right down the bottom of the garden so this is a small crop:
Who ordered the chopped peanut?
The House Sparrows which nest under the tiles of my property have raised quite a few babies and the parents are used to me walking right under their nesting site. This adult male was quite content for me to get reasonably close for a portrait shot:
Beautiful pictures. The closeup of the sparrow is great.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bonnie.
DeleteWhat lovely photos John! A great capture of the Great Tits and beautiful close up of the House Sparrow. Glad to read they are doing well there. I havre seen more in my garden lately and I think I read their numbers are gradually improving :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jan. I have enough House Sparrows here to set up a shop!
DeleteThat's quite a mouth on that baby Great Tit.
ReplyDeleteAnd only half open in that shot Keith ;)
DeleteThose Tits are so beautiful Jim! And you've done the Sparrow proud with your photograph!
ReplyDeleteThank you Maree. It makes a change to get close enough to a wild bird to get a nice clear photo.
