I really feel in love with black skimmers during the nesting season. Both the parents help raise the chicks and are equally attentive to their little ones. It was amazing to see how protective and nurturing they were.

Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!
You do me (and hopefully yourself) a big favour by pressing L and then F11, to view at maximum size.
We all hold some opinion on Australian White Ibis; Bin Chicken to many, it is also an amazing bird: beautiful when landing against the light, a trooper with tough surviving skills and, as I witnessed from a hide last Sunday, a caring parent. This chick was thoroughly cleaned by its mother, with special attention given to its backside. Pity - just like its human equivalent, it will not remember...
(Threskiornis molucca)
Blauwborst - Male White-spotted Bluethroat (Luscinia svecica cyanecula) with a tasty caterpillar for the youngsters.
No one told me parenthood would be this hard.
A great egret with three very mature juveniles has a tough go at feeding her/his young.
Both parents feed young, by regurgitation - so this could be the Dad or Mom. Young may clamber out of nest at 3 weeks, able to fly at 6-7 weeks.
I have over 100 folders of unprocessed photos from the past 6 years which Iâm currently going through, this is one of the photos from that group. Many of these re-visit an already posted subject. I've finished going through folder 12 - over 1000 photos in that folder - I'm on folder 13 - that has 1428 photos!
New Holland Honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae)
One of the parents of the fledgling that featured on Fridy.
Just about sums it up. Fox family has been providing lots of entertainment and photo opportunities.
This poor papa fox kept trying to nap in the sun but the kits werenât cooperating!
Visited the Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) on Friday and there were so many sheep and lambs, squirrels, birds, herons, ducks, ducklings and geese with their goslings.....today (Sunday) we had to really search out this family, I think all the wildlife had hidden away from the humans as Friday afternoon was lovely weather but super quiet !
I got a few though, so watch this space over next few days....

Great Crested Grebe mother and chick.
There are still 5/6 chicks, which is a testament to the dedicated parenting of the adults. It probably also helps that the family spend most of their time near the viewing hide - which will certainly deter Marsh Harriers, Herons and Bitterns. The biggest threat will be from a large Pike lurking in the depths.
This chick (the smallest) was the only one that the parents still tolerated on their backs.
