First Day Out

My garden is full of LBJs - little brown jobs - and they sing all day long and I adore them. This morning I saw one of our resident Magpies (grrrrrrrrrrrrr) take off with a young fledgeling and I was in tears...
But, this afternoon these little fellas popped out of the tree one by one and I just had to get them with my camera. Unfortunately they were in partial shade so the quality isn't great but what a lovely way to spend the afternoon. And yes, I was in tears again....
And finally - should I stay or should I go? It took ages to decide. Bless.
Our bird food bill is going up by the second.

Fab photos !!
I need to get rid of a blackthorn hedge, I can't do it until the sparrows that are being raised there are fledged. I'm waiting until I know they've definitely gone before getting my friend with a chainsaw around.
Be patient. Our resident sparrows can produce three broods in a good year so the last lot fledge very late. I would wait till September if you can.
Crumbs! I was thinking beginning of August, but September it is then. A chap can't raise youngsters if his house has just been demolished!
Yep - quite right. Mine are all at it again
