Since last weekend, the blue tit chicks have fledged and left their nest – least ways they are no longer cheating imperiously for food nor are their parents darting back and forth with more food.
The young starlings have also left wherever their nests are for they are now in the garden in large number. Junior starlings are adult size but have browny gray feathers as opposed to the shiny and sparkled feathers of the adults. However even though they can fly, they are – at least initially – unable to feed themselves and the garden is full of their squawks as they demand to be fed by their tireless parents. Once they have mastered the art of feeding themselves, they are enjoying the purple berries from the mahonia shrub.
