Baby boom

Juvenile goldfinch
I don't know why today in particular but the garden's full of baby birds: a dozen spadgers, half a dozen newly-fledged goldfinches, a couple each of young blue tits and great tits and a very young dunnock. The bird feeders have been taking a battering.

There were a couple more young rooks on the school playing field. The seasons are a-changing: there were thirty-odd black-headed gulls on there this afternoon. In a couple of weeks we may also be hitting three figures.
