I've seen quite a few fledglings out and about over the past few days... this young jay came with its parents, but still has to figure out the mystery of the bird table... it tried to land on the roof of it several times, until it decided to watch mum and dad from a safe distance. It sat in the tree for quite a while, looking completely perplexed by it all.
This young starling was being shown bathing rituals, but never did get up its nerve to get in the birdbath... posed nicely on top of a garden crook, though.
...and finally, spotted a fledgling blackbird hiding in the hedge- thank goodness, they seem to have reared at least one! (although I'm still hoping there might be more- those two have worked harder than any pair I've ever seen to raise their chicks this year.)
