Aaaw, they're both utterly delightful little bundles of fluff!

I started a thread yesterday on the first baby birds to visit my garden this year - a pair of beautiful Mistle Thrushes

I think these are mallard ducklings

There was no parents with them, further up the river a male was calling out, it appears something happened to the hen

Ps. just relised the picture come out in low quality, i dont know how to upload without reducing the quality

We spent a couple of hours this morning watching this fledgeling blackbird following its Dad around the garden, watching the Dad bathe in the pond, having a go at drinking from the pond and trying out feeding on his own as well as taking food from Dad. Unfortunately, he/she kept trying to eat the apple blossom on the lawn, I don't think he liked it very much as it kept getting stuck to his beak!
