Baby boom
Everywhere I look right now I see (and hear) fledglings. Whilst waiting for a Grasshopper Warbler (Locustelle tachetee) to show, I snapped off some pictures of this year's new recruits. House Sparrows (Moineau domestique) may be declining in much of the UK, but they seem to be doing just fine on my local patch.
Here's a family portrait of pa, ma and junior (one of three) Stonechats (Tarier patre).
This rather grainy image of a Black Redstart (Rougequeue noir) was taken in the very last of the daylight.
