Fledgling starlings
7 Answers
The fledglings have arrived in my garden today. What a racket! Their poor parents don't get any peace. They must be the most demanding fledglings of any of our normal garden birds. The blackbird fledglings are hiding in the shrubs with their aggressive parents feeding and guarding them and the robin fledglings just sit and wait in the shrubs and trees waiting for mum and dad to arrive. The blue tits are chirping away in their nest box and the wood pigeons are still trying to make their haphazard nests but bits keep falling off!
I love this time of year.

Last year we were sitting in the garden when we heard the soft 'thump' of a bird landing on the fence. I mentioned how fat and strange it looked. Next minute, a little wren landed next to it and started feeding it. It was a cuckoo. That was a treat to see.
