Blackbirds:
- At least I'm told this was a young female, but she looked so big with light plumage, I couldn't believe it!
- Fledgling feeding, late April.
- Yong male with wing tips still brown.

Red faces and pink eyes:
- Goldfinch has no trouble with this puzzle, either.
- Been in a shower... Or bath.
- Baby Long-tailed tits naturally have more pink/red rimmed eyes, apparently.

Baby Coal tit, happily sat in the jaws of a beast! (Monkey puzzle tree.)

Baby blue tits are all over our garden, including this already charismatic chappie, mere weeks old!

My favourite bird shot to date, in terms of charm, detail and fluky halo bokeh. But what effort went into raising them..?

From red blooms to red birds! Robins return with...
- Birb on birb action.
- Twinkling eye ball!
- Clearly miffed about the stray spring of holly in the bath (wrong time of year for a Christmas cliché)...

Today's walk. An evening stroll around my local nature reserve. Heard lots of birds and went to investigate. Saw a fledgling owl. Video not great as I only had my phone #nature #greenspace #ukbirds
Took Merlin Bird ID to Kingston Lacy (National Trust) yesterday for a walk - loads of different woodland species. #MerlinBirdID #KingstonLacy #UKBirds
