That's a noisy chick, nan

mum and dad are calling

Is that on your balcony, nan?

Lovely nan.

yes Mel, it is
they came two years in a row... and now the Greats were flying around... for more than one month

and saw them again yesterday

Amazing how close they get, nan!

But I also had a few blackbirds sitting with me for a few seconds now... not shy at all. And an LBJ which I supsect was a willow warbler
and I'm totally gutted because I could have had the bestest of pics when I usually try to camera hunt them in the foliage.

the "D" day, I put the camera on the tripod early in the morning, in front of the nest... ready to have pictures, then I stayed behind without moving, all the little ones flew toward me, and they went to the tree nearby, but I can't find them,...... only a shadow (agains day) of mum/dad and one chick

A Nuthatch in the middle of preening at lunchtime today in one of the lime trees near our balcony, but not near enough that the photo isn't heavily cropped.

Never saw one of those
