Young song thrush (Turdus philomena) viewed from my study desk yesterday – at the moment the thrushes are making their loud and repetitive calls all day and every day
Sadly I have become blasé about young birds in the garden in recent years. I used to snap a photo of every little bird through the kitchen window but now I don’t even count how many babies the blackbirds, robins, blue tits and great tits have. These families have all been very successful this year, as have the nuthatches.
This time I am missing the baby starlings (see a previous post here) and although there is a male great spotted woodpecker around, it does not seem to have a family this time (see a previous post here).
What a sweet youngster! I saw a whole family of young long tailed tits the other day, which was most entertaining!

Funnily enough we get long-tailed tits every so often and a whole bunch of them were feeding on the fat block at dusk just a few nights ago.
They are indeed very entertaining – and noisy. There is no mistaking them for any other birds.
All the best 🙂
