First Fledgling

aw pixi what a dear little thing, thanks for getting these pictures, they are really lovely.

i would be the same ~ couldnt do anything when they were fledging last year!!!

Well I saw the mother going down in the bottom of the garden so I guess that's where is must be..am so worried about it I keep getting up and looking, but also I dont want to disturb the feeding. Wont take any more pics for now anyway :))))

i think they took at least a day or maybe 2 on springwatch last night while the parents were still feeding them?? did you see it?

Oh no I missed it..might watch it on here tho :))))

its worth watching! they counted the amount of times the parents fed them on one day ~ while still in the nest ~ how many do you think?

OMG lol millions! THey are in and out all day long! em...i would say maybe a thousand ?

600+ but on the day it went down to 400 some died and they had all their feathers by then!!

WOw..amazing eh? they work hard!

Oh Pixi, it is so cute. I would be worried too. It is such a responsibility. :o)

Cute Pixi, very cute..You can't stand gaurd for ever though :/ I give Miss Marbles a lecture before I let her out....She is normally too busy fighting cats to chase birds.

THanks Linda..yes it is! I am up and down looking..cant see it now.
Yes Pimp I know. Suki is lying in fatboy's front garden sunning herself lol..hope she stays out there and doent come round the back.

SUN??????????

yeah its sunny lol not so warm tho. meant to rain tomoroow! hope it stays nice for you coming up north hen! :)

It's delight and worry in about equal measure, isn't it?
I have a free year this year without fledglings. I miss them, but don't miss the anxiety that goes with it.

yes I am very anxious..prolly better not to look! :)

So enjoyed the pics, can understand you not wanting to disturb it too much just hope it survives.

Thanks for showing these photos, they are so cute.

Omg i cant tell you how stressed out i am!!!!

Brilliant Pixi - I wish we'd get some blue tits nesting . What a cute shot of the little one

wow lovely pics Pixi, lovely birds :-)

thanks :))

It's a worrying time for a parent when the children leave home ...
I hope the little bird will be all right.

tell me about ! lol I feel like their mother!

lol ... you're a very caring person :o)

ah well the poor wee buggars sometimes need a little help dont they:)

don't we all !

yes! lolol awwwwww ((()))

Brilliant photos. I was never able to get this near any of our babies. I can believe the parents made that many visits feeding the babies and to think they do it all again.

I know! That's devotion for ye! lol
