Isn't it good to see the latest generation of birds arriving at the feeders.Here's my newest visitor, a very young Goldfinch, enjoying sunflower hearts,under the watchful eyes of it's parents, a few feet away on the fence.
Welcome to the world little fella.

Welcome to the world little fella. | Nice one Jules. I have loads of Goldfinches at the feeders most days but haven't seen any youngsters yet. Hope they put in an appearance

Its nice when mum and dad bring their offspring for a visit. That is most of the time except when junior is a seagull!!!!!!!!!!
Next door feeds the gulls so last year a pair brought their youngster to show it where the free food was. It stayed all summer and squawked all summer long... it is a very irritating noise and the mess! well that's another story!
At the moment there is a fledgling robin in my garden. Mind you when I get the camera he disappears!
