First birds leaving!!

[emma bessant]

Hello!
I have the first lot of the fledglings in the garden and they are the house sparrows, they look so cute with still the yellow bits round their beaks.
Must keep my eye out now and see if I can see the Great Tits and Blue Tits leaving their boxes!!! Soon will have a very bust garden full of babies!! Sad! I know but for the last 4yrs I have managed to stroke a baby bluetit while its feeding on the feeders!!! My husband thinks im bonkers standing there waiting for the opportunity to touch one!! ha ha, but as soon as they get older they get more wary of us!
Fun times!!:p

Thats so cute, a baby starling was stuck in our pond yesterday, i hooked it out and gave it to my 10yr old son whos nature mad!! he placed it in a sheltered sunny part of the garden took its photo and we went back inside. As it dried off it gradually started to fly up a little way and then the parents started feeding it! My sons glad he rescued it, hes called it Spike!!!

Ah Bless!!,
That sounds like something I would have done!!!
My Greattits have also fledged now and the box is empty, didnt see them leave must have been this morning while I was out!! Just Bluetits to go now, so and watching every minute I can without neglecting my nearly 3yr old daughter!!! haha
Hope they choose the box with the camera next year!!
